Wedding Day Massacre.

The view from behind the veil is fuzzy,
all that wine hasn’t been much help.
Last I remember, I was cutting cake.
Now my head is bleeding, swelled.

It must’ve been the ring bearer.
He caught me by surprise....
I never could’ve seen him coming,
not right before my eyes.

Or maybe it was the best man,
who smashed me over the head?
I always knew he had it out for me,
because I stole away his best friend.

Of course, I wonder of my husband,
and how I found the way to where I am.
It feels as though I’m on a ship,
like I’m far away from land.

This water could be shark infested,
a lot of money went into this dress....
I suppose I could just wait here,
signaling my distress.

Let me see what I have here,
I thik I felt a gush.
I seem to be covered in maroon,
a warm and sticky mush.

Well, you see, my head was cut.
Still, this seems a bit much.
I felt around in the moonlight,
found a body and a gun.

It’s all coming back to me!
I remember alright....
Yes, how I got here,
the way I stole a life.

I was cutting that cake,
or headed that way,
and I pulled the knife out,
to lodge it in his brain.

I’m not a bad marksman,
sure didn’t miss.
Nobody could stop me,
no one expected it.

So I killed my husband,
on our very first night.
I loved the look of the cake,
more red than was white.

This body is his,
I’m a suspect....
of my wedding massacre,
I got all the rest.

Got the little flower girl,
and all my own brides maids.
I stopped every last soul,
on my red wedding day.

Of course, they will catch me.
I can’t let that happen.
Perhaps I should go,
in my dress of stained satin.
