Blood




            The coffee table was broken, smashed into splintering pieces of wood. The room hazy with smoke, has shattered glass thrown about. Someone was lying down. There was a stain on the carpet, deep and red. She was wearing lingerie, red and laced. Lips wet with crimson lipstick, cheeks caked with red powder. She was young, only 20. Her eyes were grey blue, wide as if just seeing a murder. The door is wide open. Scratch marks mar the door’s natural beauty, Oak.
        The sunlight filtered through the thin Japanese curtains. The girl was covered in a blanket of sunset. She was in love. But now she is quiet, silenced by the same thing she loved to talk so much about. Her heart so big, so loving, was so easy to hit. Under her still body, was a puddle in the shape of a heart. Her greatest attribute was her greatest weakness, and she died the way she wanted to, smothered in love.
