My Bed

By Anonymous

see red, red, everywhere
My bed it covers
Red blood runs through
It leaves many scars

Silently I lay there
Like ink my body fades
As I sink below
From blood my heart is poisoned

In slow motion I kiss you
As the emotion in your eyes
I see…………
With all the lies you told

You act so mysteriously
With your action in tact
Never ask me to stay
Goodbye it is

My words will flow
Beyond the sky
While you burn me away
In my bed
