The colors I wear,
Mirrors of ceaseless pain

My tears stain blue silk shirts
Tears never-ending, never-ending
Even when they gather and refuse to fall
Never-ending.

The blood of my lost darlings
Mimicked by the scarlet of my scarf
Forever reminding me
Simple drops of blood bring the never elusive Masque of Red Death

My grey pants:
The soot that is all of what remains
Ash, ash,
They are nothing but ash

The black of my coat,
Embracing me as I know Death will one day do,
As death will always do
As Death has done to my loved ones, my loved ones, my gone ones

The colors I wear
In honor of the fallen,
In honor of the loved,
In honor of the never lost, never lost, never lost
