Bled out.
Life left me, time to head for check out.
Can’t shout.
Wife left me, no doubt she took the same route.
Nothing but strangers in this crowd…
Red pools reflecting clouds and planes.
Another bloody out-of-body experience.
Mudded by heavy rains.
Speeding through these crowded lanes thus ending up with empty veins.
No eyes on the dash cause we’re all out of brains.
Wait, read that again for me.
Yeah, out of brains most literally.
Help me after the fact. Help me please.
Put my spirit back in my body and stop this bleed.
All I need was a couple of bright moments before i wrapped my car around this tree.
But now it’s too late and my wife isn’t even here beside of me…
Has she already left?
Even after death life’s confusing i guess.
Or maybe… she isn’t here because she never passed.
Wouldn’t be the first time she stood me up and apparently not the last.
I bet she’ll get off with some bruises and a cast.
Bitch always was in luck.
Should’ve slammed on the brakes when that turn came up instead of speeding up.
Fuck.
It seems karma’s a real bitch today.
Have to leave the scene without any words to say.
No use because no-one can hear them.
Just a body without life and over thirty empty beer cans.
But who even wants to hear me rant?
She’ll probably say we almost hit a deer and,
we had to steer abruptly and braking was too late by then…
I can’t believe you got off this easy.
You were supposed to come with me and bow before the Antichrist, adore Lilith and maybe even meet Lucy.
But you’ve ruined all of that.
You’ve ruined everything it seems…
By all means i’ll devote my afterlife to haunt your dreams.
I’ll be the breeze in the air with closed windows.
I’ll be the crease in your fresh ironed church clothes.
I’ll be the thorn on your thornless grief rose.
I’ll be the red in your eyes on your next wedding photos…
I’ll always be close.
Not even death can part us.
I’ll never go to sleep.
May your chest remain heartless.
Whaaaaat???!!
This is amazing. I felt like I was floating through a dream and not a good one.
Bravo, girl.
Powerfully penned, Drieks. Vivid imagery an incredible storytelling my friend. Appreciate you.

Remind me not to get in a car with you! Wow, it took me a hot minute to figure out what was happening. I love the rhyme you use – feels like an antagonistic relationship peaking with a bad turn. I like how you explore the moment of death, the voiceless reality of finality… except, I can hear you.
Haha you’ll be safe, I promise!
I put this on paper when I heard about it on the news.
The husband tried to end their lives because he found out she cheated on him.
I wrote this piece from her perspective at first but, even though I despise the husband, writing it from his point of view came across way more powerful in my opinion.
Love the flow and vibes. Great ink
Thank you for the kind words Nick!
