That Time of the Month

28 days have passed,

It's time for the sacrifice!

A little bit of blood shedding

For a month of paradise.


A fetus slips out of your body

Like your thoughts slip out of your mind

And pain sometimes find its way

To torture the ones who're too kind.


Sour breasts, abdominal cramps,

Squids never feel such pain,

But bleeding with no wound, you see,

It's a ritual with no knife, there's nothing to gain.


So next time when a crime scene happens

In your so-white bathtub,

That means 5 days from now

You'll have four weeks of your blood being on lock down.
