Broken floors and shattered glass
By Bellezza
bittersweet now was the ending
and the tragedy began to take its sway
demons danced merrily downward
into her soul that fateful day
stuck on repeat it played through
the event that now enveloped her mind
the satanic red smile within his eyes
whispered words of the killing kind
her body reeked of humiliation
and the scars that have yet to heal
he wrought this hurt upon her existence
and now these things she’ll never feel
she’ll never remember what life was like
before that haunting day came to pass
she’ll never remember what life echoed
before the crack of floors and shattered glass
the aching shame running rampant now
will never cease to bring her pain
for she will always remember the way her blood fell
how it spilled and how it stained
she screamed until she could no more
hoping to mend those ravished wounds
in the end her defenses were raped through
bursting into her blood-stained womb
crimson now was her defiled ending
and the tragedy finished soon after it began
she brought upon her sweetest escape
from the mirror and the attacking man
