She went down the pathway
Of the quarter moon,
Its sorrow bleeding with gilded
Protection from a star's hopeful
Glance, she bled darkness
From a deep pain
And her lips like ruby petals
Sang her lamemt:
As the grey day bloomed
And my dreams grieved,
I saw your eyes retracing
Every desire I conceived.
I heard the footsteps
For and ending to my sorrows,
Such a fool,
I thought you'd stay past tomorrow.
I put out the lanterns
Searching for my heart's grace,
But now that you have slithered,
Its gone away.
Love's virtue dead
Hung on a thread of tears,
I bleed out my soul
And built walls of fear.
The delicate red of crimson
Fire burnt me whole,
There was once a woman,
But scarlet pain eats the soul.
