I Met My Match In Ebony Flames

leave me here
sleeve me here
in red
in my ashy bed
i never want to see light again

once there was a lady
who like to where the color blue
i never once thought that she would be shady
nope, never even had a clue

professionalism went out of the window
once she changed the way i watched the wind blow
she was the alcohol to the heartbeat of my liver
i died a slow death when the nature of her wrath sent me up the river

leave me here 
sleeve me here
in black
with a size 8 stiletto heel print on my back
i never want to know what is bright again
