Streets Painted Red. Crimson 🍷

I knee what I signed up for 

When the streets were painted Blood Red 

Crimson to be exact 

Lives never truly taken 

My husband owned highways and blocks 

His dark, callous heart 

Swayed my jolly innocent one 

I knew he loved these streets 

That were painted in divine blood 

Society would never accept us 

We were not of the same cloth 

Social class. Race. We didn't care 

The Grotesque and Ghoulishness 

Undertones behind a phone call 

Car bombs. Masquerade Massacres 

Parties obtained in Pure Darkness 

It grew gradually I began to enjoy 

The sick fantasies right alongside him 

The dark red streets paved the way for more blood 

Fingertips missing. Cement for feet. 

All Cascaded around these beautiful streets.
