Write a short story which contains this line.

Bloody Good

I have to stop getting blood

all over these hardwood floors.

It’s on the walls and on the doors.


Crying? It’s never been what I’d do.

You said it was over, it took me back.

There went that, your jaw went crack.


The highlight of my day:

Your body was shaking,

And limbs were quaking.


Never had I seen a man-

With eyes full of fear.

There went another tear.


You didn’t believe me;

I told you I was trouble.

Now you’re seeing double.


Picking you out of my teeth.

Hair down around my horns.

Now you see all my thorns.


Your hands tied back.

I told you I was crazy.

Your vision’s getting hazy.


Blood down your face,

Running down your neck.

Eyes closed and I listen to

You breathe. Breathe.


The things I fantasize about

While you sleep soundly.

How they come,

So profoundly.


Honey, what is love?

Tell me so I don’t mess this up.

Huh, what does it mean?

Drinking you from a plastic cup.


I’m not crazy.

I know what they said.

Just don’t listen to them.

They’re already dead.


It’s okay, I’ll hold you while you’re broken.

Claws around your face, my token.


_Honey, the Queen is back._


And now she’s rapping.

Talons long, she’s tapping.


You’ve never seen a creature like this.

Baby lean in, give her a kiss.


Bow down, lay, you’re my puppet now.

Got everyone talking, “Wow.”
