Charlotte's Death

I came in and heard her scream, I climbed the stairs, but then there was a dark silence, was I just in a dream? I quickly walked to her room, I walked in and there was her blood everywhere my eyes looked. Her lifeless body laid there on the bed, There was suddenly a ringing in my head, "Please, please tell me this is all in my head!" Everything inside of me wanted to touch her, I wanted it to be just another nightmare. I screamed and screamed and nobody could hear me, I screamed and screamed, where is the man that did this. How did he leave? Who is he? Only a man without a heart could do this, Only a woman who's lost a love could do this. Charlotte got around, she made every man her own. Now I'll never know... Was it an old flame, or a new one? Was it a woman she stole him from? Charlotte got around, she made every man her own. Now I'll never know, who was it in that room when her face was being deformed?
