Bitter Death

The cries of laughter
Echoed in the dark

A stream of blood
Flowed beneath the floor

Followed with a scream of pain
That pierced through the veins

And a smile on her face
Which cannot be erased

Silence filled the room
So with the doom

Tears dwelled up in her eyes
Along with the bitter taste of her life

A knife graced her skin
And she was happy to let it in!
