love runs red when fair hearts turn black

let's burn away forever ... stairing out across this cold hardwood floor
were pools of stagnet blood collect in place of non-sequential footprints
fingernails dig into your palm ..to firmly grip your demise
a cold dank wind aproaches to carry the slained in a blood soaked rug
and flee the scean to Lubeck ......
hand in hand we have mastered this dance ... our feet both falling in step
over a vase of shattered long stem roses
water thinning the blood running off the pettles
distrust is all this has come down to ...
gun up to my temple ... convaying empty threats
wishing things were all that simple
eclipsing ...
just a puppet lost in this catastrophy of a play
decomposing hands jerking at your heart strings
nothing can reverse the words or scaring
lately things seem so tragic ...
frost leaves your breath floating in the air around me
a sparrow with severed wings .... grounded
feels like im drowning with this weight straped to my feet
inches from the surface...
watching you walk away from every single moment
so close to virtue .... such a hair thin balance
my eyes go grey with silence
watching the bubbles escaping .. rising through the stillness
ebony eyes so cold ..... eclipsing
blank stair condeming this cruel night sky
guess love runs red when fair hearts turn black
