Bloodred
  I am human
  Cut me, I will bleed
  I won’t give blood
  You’re full of greed
  As I said
  A thick flood flows from me
  Now I lay me down to sleep
  In the bed won’t make a peep
  I pray the Lord my soul to keep
  The angels watch me through the night
  As I wake at morning’s light
  But wait there’s more
  You must listen, imagine my pain
  See in me the blood and gore
  For I have been slain
  By you the sword was led
  Into my heart
  The dark veins bleed blood red
  The first drop hits the floor
  That’s a start
  The blood pools under the door
  Under the sword my heart folds
  Much like origami
  Help me
  Why do you do this to me, Sweet Mommy?
  You said you loved me
  But you lied
  Why? I am not dead
  Why do you wish to see me
  Blood red?
  I don’t want to die
  For your lie
  In the sink my blood you pour
  What do you want Mommy? More?
  I don’t make much
  Not older
  I’m only four
  Why treat me as such?
  You took every pint
  Of the red stuff
  I still love you Mommy
  But I have disappeared
  Puff puff
  I am gone, just like you always feared
  I’m gone; won’t be back
  Like Mommy said
  “Hit the road, Jack.”
  I hit the road when the car hit me
  I know the driver
  It was Mommy
  Look into me. I am blood red.
