Chapter 8: red.

Letters ✔Words: 698

I like the color red,

I hate the color red.

I love dark red roses

That look like velvet in my bed.

The crimson is consuming,

Its beauty is like fiction,

But I also hate it

It's such a contradiction.

The red is so addictive,

A game played by the kings

Who's bodies are their castles,

Who's souls are their wings.

You're impatient just to see

Another scarlet red.

I never wear red clothes,

Cause they remind me of the dead.

It's the affair's colour,

The devil's flair,

I  remember I once had

Slight crimson hair,

Maybe I was a devil,

A contradiction, of course,

Maybe I was just me

Coded in morse,

Because you never understood me,

And you never cared

For the cherry wine girl,

With the crimson hair.
