Lives Given Away
Shouts are heard
Something, or someone, is thrown into the wall
Footsteps come thudding up the stairs and down the hall
The door is banged open, and soon blood begins to fall like liquid rubies, gliding a body of ivory
Harsh ground meets delicate face, and light flicker out
A razor slides down skin second later
More rubies descend
Tears are shed, and lives given away
