Red
A cave hidden in the forest beyond
Crimson waters flow out,
The wolves seek out the source
Only to find her bleeding soul.
Slithering stream reflect her demons
Trapped inside the illusory web of sunshine,
Waiting to ravish her tonight
As the sky becomes moonless again.
Scarlet lips talk of the forbidden words
Staining the white garbs of hypocrisy,
Bloodshot eyes continue to fight
And mock the lies told truthfully.
Vermilion marks became the stars
Deafening howls quietened the silence,
An explosion consumed all that was,
And the night was red.
