Red Balloons Where White Floated Before

Red balloons litter the floor, Out numbering the pure ones before, What once was white now Discoloured Violated Shrouded Float from view Each a moment of life As the balloons once white Now no more, For all is stained red Crimson, Droplets, Dried Upon white like a tear, It slides down marking Before greeting the floor, Expelled air, ruptured by the Violence, Anger, Death Still lingers, an after image Of the life that was here before, Red balloons float leaving their imprint Splatter effect upon floor & wall Cold eyes stare seeing both White & Red Balloons Clinging around this fallen life, Where white once was now all That floats is the stench of death Red balloons huddle around, Each carrying a moment with them When life became death & White was scarred by crimson, Life is static, still, for death  now floats above the floor
