Drowning

[MalingeringDove]

Why is this happening to me?
        Why is there so much blood?
              This is simply too much blood.
Running down her throat
        and out of her mouth
                from overfilled lungs
                    onto the floor, the plagued
Nile quickly draining out
        too weak to resist as the body
                begins to swallow itself.

Gurgling wet whimpers
        bubble to the surface
          as I siphon liters
            of blood and marbled clots
                  into a bucket.

Both of us unsure
          how we got here
                  or how to get out.
I hope my eyes
            can speak loud enough
                  to tell you I’m sorry
                        I got us so lost.

They’re all rushing in now.


Eyes bulging
    like a bunny
      caught by a fox
        unable to move
          or speak. Forced
To silently scream,
    staring at the little
      white lies leaving
        my lips
drenched in bright red blood.


I am very new to poetry and have been writing for about a month. All criticism welcome so I can progress. Ty
