Knocking and spilling the alcohol which serves as fodder for stupidity.

Crimson anger fills your vision as you

draw the gun.

Time draws to a stop as you pull the trigger

on an innocent.

Scarlet stains the floor we tread as

hands reach to restrain.

Have you no shame, no guilt?

Figures in blue come to take you away.

We scream and they yell to

not resist.

Can you not listen, drunk as you are

on your sins?

Cover my ears as more shots

rang out.

Should I feel shame for relief?

More crimson comes to greet you

as you descend unto the flames of Hell.

Nightmares chase away any chance of

pleasant dreams.

Morning brings only more

unanswerable questions.

Pain drifts from memories best left behind.

You smiled darkly as you succumbed

as if somehow satisfied with the outcome.

Why?

I'll never understand why

you've been able to grin twistedly.

I heard you didn't receive

a funeral.

Perhaps that is good,

being surrounded by black

doesn't suit you.

Instead I leave a crimson rose,

I simply believe it fits you

better....
