~
Tears are falling.
They're red,
Lovely red.
You drew these tears.
These red tears.
Lovely red.
You took up the metal,
And painted it red
Lovely red.
The pain in your chest
Removed by the red.
Lovely red.
And red took over,
Red captured you,
Red is beautiful,
Red is terrible.
The Devil's colour,
Cupid's colour;
All the same.
Red took your breath
Even as it gave anew.
Red saved you
From everything but yourself.
Lovely red.
