5 stitches

I cut myself last night

took a blade to my arm

flinched, as it bit

streams of red

trickled down my arm

across my palm

dripping off my fingers

onto the floor

I watched for a few moments

just to feel

what it was like

to have life flow away

on a crimson stream

one question came to mind

as i covered the wound

WHY?

5 stitches later

I still ask the same question
