Ardent Red
You cannot let go, cannot forget
Everything in the night
However easy it may seem
Smother a star and stay beneath the eyelids
Smother too the bitter moon with a cloud
Ardent red, colour my silence
Ardent red, on a smile that died
Ardent red, to hide my pain
In the night I lose myself
With the night I forgive you
I hide you beneath the ribs that hurt
With the bitter moon
When everything I desire is ardent red
I don’t want to lose you to the world outside
Remain unchanged- unquenchable red
