One last ballet
As red rain poured
From her arms and chest
Little droplets flying
Until she plummeted gracefully down
Down to the hard cement floor
A cold reception recieving a warm welcome
As the blood seeped out
Desperate to evacuate
The ballerina gave one soft moan
From parted lips
And then with one final sigh
She bid good bye
