Crimson

With crimson lips,
and frozen hearts,
With pointless beauty,
And striking remarks,

Those crimson lips do not belong,
To a face like hers,
To a voice like larks,

As blades cross skin,
and the sound of war crys on,
ringing across the land,
The simple days of gazing out the window,
have been stolen from her.

Stolen from us.
