Spilled Blood (Contest entry)

I should have painted the bathroom walls
The cops will see my rage filled writing
Why'd I use permanent marker?

At least the orange flowers are pretty
but the blood on the floor will need to be washed
when my body is moved and turned to dust

"Mommy."  I hear at the door
Why is it her that finds me?
Couldn't she wait until my heart stopped

and...

Apparently, I didn't cut deep enough
when my eyes are opened
to tears in their eyes
