Killer Image

A drop of blood trickled from a vein
Cut up for being vane 
Gazing at the reflection in the pane
Ignoring the emerging pain 

Shoes lined up in pretty rows 
On the bed a single rose 
The blood oozes fast and fills a pail
The face slowly starts to pale

Heavy does the depression weigh
No longer going the right way 
The killer collects his earn
After handing over a pretty urn
