Writing scandal

Red petals dusted on the ground,
Brown letters and ink all around.
Dim candlelight waits for a blow,
A heart melts slow to hide in its glow.

The roof sings melodies with the rain,
Old blood keeps flowing in pain.
The shadows of trees and white,
A window, cloudy, and a moon, bright.

The sharp yellow eyes of the owl,
Bats, crows, and creepy fowl.
A speedy breeze blew the candle,
Carving a bloody love scandal.
