Make Me Bleed

By Ashley Paradis

Grab your knife,
Peel it off.
Squirting blood
By the pint and
drink until you’re full.

Take my kidneys
And render me useless.
I want you to cut me up
Cut it out
Tell me that I’m garbage.

I know you like it when I scream
I love the way you make me squirm
Finger my entrails
Tell me you’re crazy
And crush my skull.

Blood, gushing out
Blood, in my mouth
Blood, on the floor
Make me scream
Make me bleed
I want to slip away.
