A white rose covered in blood

A white rose covered in blood lying on the floor,
Grasped by a tiny hand,
Such tiny fingers hold it firmly as a puddle of blood lies beneath it
As blood gushes from this woman's arm

I stop my movement, Stand still, Not knowing how to approach the situation

So I stood there,staring
I began to tremble, it had felt like the world was falling apart right before my eyes

Taking a deep breath now, trying not to gag with the taste of blood fulfilling my body

MY eyes filled with tears, pouring down onto my cheeks
stepping closer, my eyes raising down to her hands
My warm skin slightly brushing up against her cold body
not being able to stand the sudden rush of bitter sweet darkness
I grabbed the note quickly from her grasp
My mind was filled with agony, it was difficult to read what was left before me

Slowly opening the letter, my hands started to shake
The letter read
" don't be angry with me because I chose to end your life, Just be happy that you lived"

In utter confusion, I began scanning the room,
Unable to understand what had been said
My heart racing, pounding on my chest, fear overwhelming me
Reaching over to pull her dirty blonde hair away from her face
Falling to my knees, not able to hold myself up
collapsed by this now known corpse
Souls of helpless children surrounding us
The loud screeches from there cry
Opening my mouth , trying to scream for help
Nothing came out
A slight murmurer was as loud as my screaming got
My lungs were all out of air, they were closing up
I was pacing beginning to lose my breath completely
A beautiful site I once saw now becoming dark before me
Holding her hand at that very moment, Not being able to feel warmth
Only sheer misery
In a blink of an eye, I was dying
No more did I hear cars pass my complex
Only weeping from unforgiven souls
I could hear nothing of beauty, only mournful memories
As the room became blank,
I looked once more to see my own brown eyes staring right back at me
I watched myself die
& the rose die with me
