the bloody child

  I am drenched in blood

  I am singing to the tune

  I am singing

  I am happy~

  “For the life of you

  You cant seem to find out

  Why

  It

  All

  Fell

  Down.

  Oh-oh-oh.

  I, i wonder

  How much i can take

  Before

  Before

  Beefoore

  I

  Start

  To

  Crack”

  A boy is singing this tune

  Again and again

  Walking down the halls.

  The people in the halls try not to look at him

  ‘The horrible smell’

  This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  They all think.

  The boy leaves a trail behind him

  A trail of blood

  Pouring from his every pore

  Leaving from his eyes

  Eyes that are opened wide

  Trying to find someone to look at

  The boy is alone

  The boy walks through someone who didn't get out of the way

  As though they weren't there.

  The boy starts to cry

  He doesn't remember why

  He curls into a ball

  Against the wall

  The people in the hall

  Start to call

  Call for help

  Call for a doctor

  Doctors that never arrive

  Nurses that have long passed

  Flood the halls

  The boy looks up

  He sees a nurse

  She is clean, perfect

  She offers him some water

  He sings a different tune

  “Today i was alone

  I was alone for long

  But then the long

  Came to an end

  And i found a friend

  Now we play

  Now we sing

  Now we dance

  Until its time to collapse”

  The boy is walking through the halls

  The people are avoiding him

  But they look

  He is smiling

  He is holding hands

  With a girl

  No blood

  They both sparkle

  They both play

  They run around

  Singing, dancing

  While the priests pray

  While the gamblers gamble

  The mothers mourne

  In an empty home

  The children are welcome

  In the home of the dead

  “We were alone

  Alone for the sad

  And then

  All of the men

  And all of the women

  Pointed

  They pointed towards

  Our new home

  Where we are happy~

  Where we can play~

  Play all day~

  Then sleep tight

  Right through the night~

  To do it all~

  Again

  The next day.”
