Red
Blood

Thats the two most connected
And unobstructed

I met a crow once
After a macabre magic show
He taught me things

Sorrow and fear
Life loss so near
And how the others sneer

I met a dove
And she taught me how to love

Showed me smiles
And with it happiness for miles

But the Crow ate the dove.
Chewed up entrails
And my face paled

Misery and torment
And utter abhorrent

I was given a knife
And by devil told to end my strife

Give into sin
Let me win

And I listened.
The red crow laughed

Eyes gleaming
Scheming

It laughed the blood of the red dove dripping still
A sign of a new ****
