Broken love
 Dec 2019 Eli
Sin
She wore a scarlet letter
So all could see her now
The harlot of the village
Her head now a bow
Forbidden love
It came to her
Washed her like a summer spring
Her smile born from happiness
Until the dark was seen
Her heart it loved
She knew no wrong
But alas it was a curse
For his love was taken
Already held
By the woman he did marry
So now she wanders so alone
The cold it bites so harsh
And stares they eat away
In her heart
She truly knows
That love will find a way

The Red Woman
why am i scared of the dark
when i know that i’m the light
won’t i shine bright enough
or will i scare the dark away
i am so scared
please don’t go
i need my light
and i need my dark
without them
i am nothing
but a shell

The Red Woman
i thought the black
was a reflection
of his soul
i was wrong
but not really
it wasn’t a soulless black
it was the colour
of all the colours

the chalkboard chatters
in its different languages
ancient ways
am i supposed to understand?
understand all of this
it’s just chalkboard chatter
- not important to me
i’m important to them
