Caput Mortuum

13 5 1
                                    

Small chunks
Cling to the wall
Glued there by blood
So they won't fall.

White walls
Now stained red
And inside it
A bullet got embedded.

Paling corpse
Laid out on the floor
An abuser, a cheat
Now is no more.

A murderer killed
A murderer born
She's a wife and a sister
But only one is forlorn.
