IA shattered bottle,Once holding the violent venom of vodka,Pierced directly into the heart of another.
IIA shattered heartBreaks into a million pieces,All grip leaving as realization hits.
IIIA shattered gripLoses its hold,Chills running down the killers body.
IVA shattered body,Battered and blue, lays on the ground,Its soul taken away.
VA shattered soul,Taken by its brother,Moves to the vast expanse of Eden.
