"And this is how it looks when I am standing on the edge. And this is how I break apart when I finally hit the ground. And this is how it hurts when I pretend I don't feel any pain." -Red

Scarlet skies,
and scarlet blood,
within the eyes,
of the receding flood.

A love so pure,
a hope so strong,
the only cure,
for all his wrong.

With the sun up high,
and the moon below,
his whispered sigh,
sway to and fro.

Cries once ignored,
have now been silenced.
Away they soared,
gone is the violence.
