Stained

Moonlight fills the garden area

and each flower glistens unnaturally.

She slips away into the darkness

and leaves the carnage behind.

She didn't want to do it,

but she had no choice.

The way he came at her with the butcher knife

had been almost a dance fit for a ballet;

every movement perfect without a single flaw.

But, she had been quicker

and beat her violator to the ground

For her life was spared, he had killed before.

Her golden curls shimmer

 in the light of the moon as she stares at him.

Those lifeless eyes glisten

just like the unnatural glistening of the flowers.

Now with closer inspection,

each white petal

is stained a blood red.

A malevolent hue

permently stained.

Each white rose is violated and tainted

by the fresh, warm, blood.

And as she walks away,

only the darkness hears her sing,

"I'm painting the roses red..."

So dark with beauty....
"I'm painting the roses red" is the representation of how beauty can be dangerous itself.
