My eyes are open I see white White everywhere My dress is white My shoes are white The sheets on the bed White But I feel like a different color I feel red Red for pain Red for bloodshed Red for love Red for passion I feel weak yet strong Red I look down as I walk I am ashamed I keep my head down No one can see into me now My secrets are safe I stop walking The end of my journey is here The beginning of a new one is a step away I take that step and look up I see his face His beautiful, scarred face What happened to him? Where did he get those scars? I look back down I see my flowing white dress I see his black tuxedo We are opposites In every way My hands are warm and sticky I look back down and see blood Red blood All over my hands What's happening?! I look in front of me Gone Fallen Lying on the ground I feel panic Chaos Adrenaline Fear Red I close my eyes and wish to wake up from this nightmare I close them tightly I refuse to open them until I am safe Back to where I was Where he was sitting next to me on the way home Perfectly alive Laughing and smiling This place is peaceful My reality I feel a jolt A shock runs through my body My eyes focus I feel heavy Yet full of life I want to wake up And see him there Am I ready? My eyes flutter open I see white Bright lights in my face Freedom The nightmare is gone I feel something in my hand I look to see what it is He is holding my hand Keeping me grounded Keeping me safe I look up to his face and begin to cry He sees me and kisses me for a lifetime As if we have been apart for ages I feel his joy I am alive Grateful Pure White
