Blood.
She came for blood
To cause a flood
Some Crimson lake
Something to seep beneath the mud
To insert that knife
Disguised in a hug
The hole where it pours
You are unable to plug
Your life leaks out
While she stands there smug
How could she? You think
She who gave you such love
Watched you grow
And brought you up
But now you'll never know
As your life slips from your cup
She who was so divine
You held on a shrine
Had some reason to turn against you
To commit this heinous crime
Look to the sky
For a desperate answer why
No one else to look up to
So, for now, it’s goodbye
"Forgive me father, while I lie here and die”
"And praise mother, for I finally see why”
