Retch

My body shudders

Spit drowns my mouth

As I rush to the sink

Leaning over the basin

My elbows shake

Saliva leaks from my mouth

My tongue burns

Chest heaving

Vomit surges

Falling, spluttering

In thick ropes

Through my teeth

I taste the foul retchedness

As I cough

Moisture on my forehead

Limbs aching

My stomach wails

My jaw jerks

My teeth clench

My eyes water

I slowly look up

To the mirror

Look up to see

My bloodshot eyes

Pain gnaws away

At my clouded vision

A haze of confusion

Swells before me

I gasp

Sucking in air

Quick breaths

Send me to the ground

I clutch the drain pipes

Collapse against it

Claw at my throat

Wish I were dead
