Bleeding out

 It was a knife fight behind a bar. Two very troubled young men.

The blade came flying through slippery eel like
unstoppable metal driving through the nerves and veins
Opening the lower neck on the shoulder 
flooding the upper body

avalanche of blood
sudden shriek gripping panic
to the knees now holding wound
reconciliation with the past

One man stands over the other ready to give the final slash or stab.

The metal drips drop drooping with thick congealing blood
It has stained the metal robbed it of it´s glint
coincidental jealousy inside the bleeding man
One man is losing his life, the other taking one

He´s bleeding out and letting go
The last of him asks for forgiveness
the consciousness waning, glitching
why death, why for this meaningless fight
