Description The clear water crashes against my hands
Slowly the red drains away
Still I drown them
The mirror stands before me
It echos my deeds
It reminds me of what I have become
My fists shake under the water
And one goes flying
I cannot control my raging emotions
As my hand smashes the mirror into pieces
The small shards cut my hand, arm, and face
I stand there
Clear clean water still running
My one hand still drowning
Yet the water is no longer pure now
While my blood trickles down and into the basin
The events that happened only a few heart beats ago
Flood back at the sight of the blood
The body...
The knife...
The blood...
My hate...
And me

Yea, the character or whoever in it killed someone and they didn't like what they became.
