she sees a lot of red

uses a lot of red

ruby dresses

crimson lipstick

 

has red eyes from crying

she's crimson from bleeding

by her body

by his body

 

and red till her last breath

in a pool of pretty red roses

flowing from her wrists

that are scarlet from scars against porcelain white skin


The author's comments:

The color red is commonly associated with femininity. As I thought about this, I was inspired to write Red Illusions. I hope this poem brings more awareness to women's struggles in life.
