Crimson Red

The dress swayed with the rhythm Pooling at her feet like blood. Her hair swung back and forth As she tried to catch him in the act. Roses covered her face Its thorns creating marks Ones that will never go away. The ruffles swayed as she moved The blood pumping and Swaying at her feet. Lost in the music And now focus of her plan For one moment there was bliss And then the danger came. He took her from the partner The one that was her shield. She raised the mask Covered in roses Concealing the lack of color That took over her face. The music slowed, And his smile grew. He finally had her In his arms. But the smile was a fool, Taking the music for granted. His matching tie To her dress, Now matched the knife She threw to the ground.
