cloaked in red

she brushed over her work

a beautiful painting

the canvas soaked 

water and red 

a beautiful

yet macabre marriage


she stared down at her gallery

the wowed crowd

too stunned to hold back tears

 what a sight to behold


staring out into the night

the red and blue strobe lights  

bringing even greater spectacle

to the open gallery


 the cuts jagged

uneven

but in their ugly

her freedom rose


they found the letter

by her dresser

mum, dad

I am happy now


      to find my happiness

      I had to take yours.
