Blood on the kitchen floor

He bleeds

It drips

We mop it up and pretend it was never there


Blood in the living room carpet

It's red

So red

We blot it out and pretend it was never there


Blood on my hands, in his hair, on his face

It dries

We sigh

We rinse it off and pretend it was never there


Blood stains my soul

It's torn

It withers

I watch it fade to nothing and pretend.
