Crimson Tears

A girl with crimson hair looked up at the full moon,

Tears glistening in her turquoise eyes

She couldn't go back home tonight

Her mother wouldn't be there;

She was in the morgue,

Cold and dead inside an ebony coffin,

Her broken body cradled in maroon velvet

The funeral would be in a few days,

Rather to celebrate her life than to morn her death

That was her wish as she lay dying on the pavement,

Shards of glass from the crushed civic underneath her head

Why must the people the girl held dearest to her suffer the most?

That's what she's wondering

The world is twisted and harsh,

No second chances allowed

Her mother worked hard to make people less fortunate happy

But she was punished for her generosity and fairness

Or was she?

What if it was the girl that God intended to punish?

He succeeded

Who is this girl that cries crimson tears of sadness?

She is me.
