tinted red

1998

"Remember the tree we planted together?" a whisper fills the room of silence.

A room where two girls fell deeply in love

A tree that was once but a mere tiny plant 

had sprung into a monster. A monster filled with memories

"Yeah, I remember" 

2006

"Do you still remember?" another whisper. It was a room

that was once bustling with laughter and joy.

A room decorated to your liking

A room filled with memories

It is now but plain white walls

As long as you were with me, I wanted your attention on me

I never wanted you to notice the shade of white the walls had

or how high the branches sprang up in spring.

I wanted you to notice how my eyes shined when I saw you

or how my hair would turn cherry red in dim light.

But you never did

You never realized my love for you

You never realized how happy I was with you

Now you hang on the tall branches,

Your blood brings color to the once-plain walls

my hands held the rope

my hands held the knife

my hands tinted red

"I'm sorry"

I watch your casket being carried down

Dirt covering your once beautiful face

Flowers covering the last chance to breathe 

"rest in peace my love" one last whisper
