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?
