Of You And Me.

I lit red candles and left screaming roses

under a dark melting sky

And I pray now

by silver shivering waters

with a yellow satin ribbon

blood stained and broken

wrapped a little too tightly around my neck

I saw

the wolves feed on each other that night

and the moon rose to its fullest with a bloody smile

in the heavy tinted skies

and I decided the universe was never a game of chess

never black birds against bleaching sails

like you always said

it was

scarlet red tears

dripping thick

soaking ivory hearts

as they bled unto

their deaths

the candles burnt red all at once then smoked away

the roses withered and left the thorns by your grave
