The Bleeding Knife

By PaperPromises

Blood drips from the knife
That took away this life
His hand shakes as he stares over
Wondering who will discover
Her bleeding, lifeless body
Still bleeding constantly.

Her lifeless eyes look up at him
And suddenly life floods back to them
Horrified he can't move
He's dying to get out of this room
But all is silent and he gets no where
He's crying desperately to get out of there.

He blinks- he must be seeing things
"No..she's dead," his ears continue to ring
But she clutches the bleeding knife and stands up
And gives it a fatal shove into his gut
He falls helpless to the floor
Clinging on to nothing more.

When their bodies were discovered
It's interesting really.
They found only his fingerprints on the knife
Apparently this guy was insane and crazy.
Cause you see it must have been too much
To handle
So he took away his own life
As well.
