The Music Box
must of been a bad day at work
she thinks to herself
as a angry hand cascades across her face
not know why this time
as a hand strikes again
she fall in to four walls
she is safe
the body bleeds and swells
as the hand hit's again
she becomes limp
she is awake
but broken
and the pieces no long spreed
with a smile on his face
he see there no more to get
as one last time tonight
a hand bludgeons her face
he walks to the dresser
whistling with a light hearted grin
he picks up a box
as it flies through the air
that birthday flashes thought her mind
it hit the wall
and brakes in to a thousand pieces
he smile an evil smile at her
he know he got what he wants
with a hop and a whistle
he walks out of the room
closing the door behind him
she crawls along the floor
picks up the balarina
and cries
