Red

Going out clothes not up to date  
Wanted to try something new    
So Slit my wrist picking up clues    
Said your dress needed more color    
So I bled for you    
   
Threw it out    
Demanded fabric Blue    
Ashamed Veins lied    
not feeling red today    
Out of style not for you    
    
Thought to fix my mistake    
Want past and present to relate    
When I first got you that dress    
Everything was more than great    
   
Illustrating clouds    
Felt close almost like fate    
Make me happy    
i would do the same    
   
But you wore it too much    
Got bored
fabric started to stain    
used to it
doesn’t fit or feel the same    
   
These red stains don’t do the trick    
would it be okay    
if I could stay    
Until then    
I’ll lose my mind    
But it’s okay    
   
get a new dress    
someone who can    
Feel like a past    
That we had made    
   
Can’t be jealous Because    
I’m about to faint    
Lighted headed    
missing blood from my veins    
   
But I’ll find someone new    
Or Someone who    
Can help me create    
A future and fine with  
A dress just plain

Author's Note
Wanted to use a dress as a metaphor for a relationship I had, because a dress is a going out having fun in the moment outfit, but not practical
