The knife,

The wrist.

One cuts the other,

The other one bleeds.

Slowly and painfully,

The red liquid flows out,

The sunken face turning pallid,

The wrist getting sticky,

With hot.

Red.

Blood.

The knife, the razor, the box cutter

Is victorious

The blade has claimed another victim

Tears cascade down sharp cheeks

The once sparkling eyes,

Now dull with sorrow

The end grows near

The red of the blood contrasting with the silver of the blade

The blood that rightfully belongs inside the victim

Who is holding the knife

To release their life essence

And to slowly fade away

Into the coffin

Into the ground

France has fallen

The knife has risen

With death and destruction following in its wake.
