there was a color blind man by the name of Red

You surrounded romance

with abondoned sentences

fresh off a sinking ship,

to watch the fragments

embrace the dark river of ink

you stood there and laughed-

I'm not sure if it was at them or me.



And now you're married

purging the poison from the berry.

How clever of you.



A friend in need needs friend indeed,

so I'll wait for you at the square.

A fair lover would advise you to take cover.

You won't find any comfort there.



You surrendered romance

with silent sentences

muted with fading delight,

gone away like a tall shadow at noonday

a fair echo that my ears still hear.

And I'm still not married,

the poison swallowed the berry.

A sad sentence indeed.



If this is all some waking dream,

then I can manipulate the scenes.

I shall be yours,

you will be my bride.

Be sure to wake me

before someone twists the knife.



My saddest dream

that you won't sing my song

you will forget my name

before too long
