Red Water

No answer at the door
strangely its unlocked
the sound of running water echoes
footsteps splash

still no answer
panic ensues
the mind knows the truth

banging on the door
holding onto hope
tears run
the water looks odd down below

grief stricken
unlock the door
denying what you know is there

red water
body pale and cold
lifeless eyes

questions rack the brain
it must be a dream
onto a better place

screaming sirens approach
lights fill the dark

its time to say goodbye
but these pictures
are forever engraved
