The Blood Never Leaves the Blade

( i didn't know, i didn't know )

" Dead is dead, " Mamma told me, as she cleaned up the

corpse of the first rabbit I killed.

( the shame i felt was unbearable )

" it doesn't matter if you did it on accident, "

( i felt dirty, the kill happened so fast )

" but it does matter what you didn't bother..."

( i should've known better, mamma )

" to check its tag to see that it was our pet, Fluffy. "

( i guess my wooden sword is stained )

" Oops, " I said.

The blood never leaves the blade.
