Crimson
By Silver
9/17/08
Every step is slowly covered
With pure white snow
Every red drop
Is coming down like rain
Painting you scarlet
Another step and more crimson rain falls
Breathing in the crisp air is growing hard
Your eyes are unfocused
You're shivering from the cold
But you're already gone
Blankly and slowly you move
Treading through the snow
Covered in that royal red
I'm finding it hard to watch you now
Unable to do anything to help
I'm not sure if I want to yell and scream
Or to cry and look away
I blink only for a moment
Before I heard a soft 'thud'
I scanned the area for you
But you were on the ground
Panting so hard as life poured out of you
Coloring the cloud soft snow
That horrible crimson shade
And then…..
There was nothing
The only thing that could be heard
Was a person sobbing
As they held their dead lover
