Red stains on the end of fingertips
A blade slips from a shaken hand
Life is dripping through a vein
A mind wonders into the past
The laughter stills a teardrop falls
A monster’s fire torn flesh
Cries of anguish a severed soul
Obsessive desire secrets untold
Cutting the pain body grows cold
Slipping through warm waves
As a body turns to stone
