I stared at him

Wanting to etch his face into my mind

The lights in the house were dim

But I found him

The trail of blood led me

Where he lay almost peacefully

They say death is morbid

But he looked wonderful

Well I probably should hide him

But that would be preposterous

Instead I dress him in his best clothes

I make him dance with me

I make him dine with me

I make him do everything we missed doing

I pat his head softly

Until the blood mixes onto my fingers

"Oh my look at the mess you've made" I say to him

I could swear he's laughing at me

"You cant be laughing" I say

And still he laughs

I am furious at him

How could he be laughing

after all I have done for him

So I silence him finally

Hiding him somewhere beneath this house

He's still wearing his best clothes

He's still dancing

Still dining down in the depths of the earth

Laughing as he smiles eerily
