• Red and white
    Balloons everywhere
    Peals of laughter
    Echo around

    A song sung
    Familiar, oh so familiar
    To her decked
    In pearly, pearly white

    A hopeful wish
    Made in silence
    The slight of fire
    Soon extinguished

    The first bites
    Sweetness savoured
    The sound of approval
    Made in chorus

    Then, a choke
    After another
    Poison they cry
    With widened eyes

    Blood splattered
    On the floors
    The bleached white floors
    Now covered in gore

    Screams of terror
    Replace the laughter
    Red crimson burbling
    At their mouths

    Happy Birthday
    My love
