*Through a third party's perspective*

Sleep come over him accompanied with a dream

Of his father doing something unthinkable too extreme

But in the eyes of them, it was the right thing to do

Something that was kept long over due

She ran, sobbing, begging for help

But his father grabbed her roughly, making her yelp

His knife glimmered as the sun came into view

His knife came down into her throat cutting straight through

Everything grew silent as their song ended

The "purification" was done, they all watched, all attended

He woke up with the thought of her covered in blood

But wanted to picture her as a lovely rosebud
