im leaving here

it ran in small rivers
dripping off my elbows
staining my torn jeans shorts
within a nauseous bubble 
the world felt small 
yet i was crushed by the weight of it
i didn’t plan this out 
i didn’t want to be seen this way 
he held my ankles between his feet,
as i tried to move towards the cliff
you’re not going anywhere
yes i am 
I’m leaving here
please don’t make me stay

the emt was breathing hard
much more nervous than me
i didn’t feel the sting 
but felt the iv 
fluid like ice through my veins 

you’re not going anywhere 
yes i am 
please don’t make me stay
