Shadows linger on the white carpet In the night it hid the blood That slipped from a cut throat And seeped out from the side The stench of her draining life Filled the dreary room And walls that used to hold memories Have been wiped blank The open window Lets in the breeze To bad they muffled her screams Death remains a permanent stain On the face of the house Once happy with pastel walls Now... Dark and gloomy The paint runs off the walls A mourning dove perched on her couch Cries tears of blood The crows will soon pick her flesh And then there will be nothing left
