Everyday Deaths

Drip down her fingers and into a glass.
Flow out her wrists.
No sex.
No drugs.
This is her drug.
Reopen it, scratch it, cut it again, cut it again.
Red all around her.
Her vision is going.
She feels like the room is spinning.
She falls onto the tile.
One more cut…

He looks at it.
Studies it.
He’s fascinated and infatuated with the way it dances.
He touches it.
Feels the heat on his skin.
He sits still.
The feeling gets stronger.
He looks around the garage.
He loved the touch.
The flames arose and covered it all

They were attracted to the shine.
They used them all the time.
Daddy played with them too when he went with his friends.
They didn’t know.
They were too young to realize.
The neighbors ran over when they heard the children.
It was too late.

She felt no need to live.
Miss all American cheerleader chick caught her star football player boyfriend cheating on her.
She drank everything up and downstairs.
She tried to walk upstairs.
Stumbling, trying to walk, she fell.
A pool of dried blood was found under head a day later.

The love of his life broke up with him.
She said she didn’t love him anymore.
He was going to propose to her on their anniversary, which was the next day.
It was a wonderful 6 years he thought to himself.
He looked at the ring.
Tears fell onto the floor as he put the ring back in the box.
He felt it.
His love came back to apologize.
She found him hanging with the open box below his feet.

Her low self-esteem didn’t help any.
She went on her depressive life in secret.
She showed no signs.
You saw a happy-go-lucky girl with so many friends.
No one really saw.
“No one cares” she said and wrote.
She looks through her house.
She was found dead on her bed with bottles and bottles of pain-killers.
All the people who “didn’t care” cried over her as she laid in the casket.
