Fairytail

My smile is broken
The teeth shatter across my lips
Blood spills on the paper letting out my inner most thoughts with pictures 
Some depicting a soul with no smile, music without a rhythm
And quiet laughter
The blood drips until the paper is no longer white but red 
A deep pulsing scarlet, like the nails of witches in fairy tales
My lips are white like the paper once was and my heart is empty but still beats 
I fill my veins with a corpses 
Thick and cold 
I can no longer feel 
I am dead inside
