Calm Knife Attack

my stomach knifed
my blood departs
I feel the beating
of my racing heart
the pain intensifies
and I drop to the floor
yet I refuse to cry
and acknowledge this war
my attacker towers over me
as I lie paralysed on the floor
while he contemplates my destiny

hello

This is a very sticky business. I like it, as it is right up my alley. An excellent piece of dark poetry. Always, Cat
