Can’t Stop
we made blood angels
on the linoleum
usually
when we cut each other
it’s contained
but tonight
we got drunk
and did some other stuff
and one thing
led to another
and now we’re bleeding
all over the place
laughing
crying
aww, it feels so good
“ok we should stop now”
I say
she jokes
“i don’t think I can stop”
I joke back
“haha me either”
she says
“i wasn’t joking”
I say
“what?
you don’t really want to die
do you?”
she says
“no
but I’ve always wanted
to kill someone”
I say
“NOO—”
she slits my throat
I say
“nrrrr”
blood sprays
I hold my throat
I try to run but
she stabs me in the back
and I fall to my knees
she’s about to
give me one last stab
but I pull out
my little revolver
from my ankle
and
shoot myself in the head
ha!
didn’t want to give her
the satisfaction
My word! Well, well, you caught me up short with that clever handling of her intent to kill.
