Is as deep as anger
that burns beneath the cuts
on your lips
its a shiver of betrayal
and uncertainty
Red
Is the scream you let
burst out in a gust of wind
and ruins cities
destroys every little
quaint home that overlfowed
with purples and pinks
Red
Is the color that
beats beneath your ribs
and tingles your fingertips
Red
Is the color
that i never want to see
leave your skin
or flood the rivers in which
we swim
Red
is love
hate
and betrayal
Red
Is what fades into
the sea of orange
Yellows and greens
Red
Is what lightly kisses
the sky at dawn
It’s what makes others
love passionately
It’s what ends the life of some
Brings light to others
Red
Is what makes a night
of drinking and messy kisses
a blur of excitement
and dread
Red
Is what i fear
