LADY IN RED

Lady in red I toss and turn In my hostile bed I have visions of me lady in red She has invaded my insane outspoken head I was sure she was dead For the blood flowed like rivers rouge My knife for sure cut deep, no more need be said Into 1000 pieces she was carved, no refuge Yet here she is staring me down Why this sudden fear, why do I shake and frown? She is dressed like a queen of long ago She walks the forests, of this I am sure She is the lady in red She is the lady that is very very dead Her ghost chases me through the woods I run and tumble, escape I know I should She stares a blank stare There is death in the air Her love will devour me one more time The red crimson blood flows, not hers, but mine She held my heart so close She drank my love Until I existed more

Not gonna lie here ... I was a bit aroused by that picture. When I (eventually) scrolled down to read I was surprised by the darkness of it. You're really good at these macabre writes! I'm not sure what to think ... is she REALLY dead, or some extended metaphor. Did she kill you in the end? You write in a way where the experience will be different depending on who is reading it. Interesting. You know, for one so funny in conversation, your pen can get rather Gothic!

I do enjoy writing on the dark side, and you nailed it, and the funny and the dark, well Robin Williams comes to mind. Cheers
