Roses and Cigarettes

Blood.

To see blood sliding down white ceramic
Her body was once the same
Crimson tails cascade down
With how she engraved his name
Steel against what was stronger than steel
It was gone with how she
Let him her heart steal
What once was a fairytale
Remained as is
For not all fairytales end happily
How Cinderella's sisters carved their feet
And the little mermaid turned to foam
Trickles of scarlet her body roam
With what she left in her mind
But most of the memories got to fleet
Her heart hadn't left its seat
But with one more missing beat
She is drained too.
