Tears fall on a red coat

Like drops of dark blood.

A man in red, a lone sentinel,

Despite the figure beside him,

Keeps watch from the crest

Of a cold barren hill.

There is red flapping uneasily in the wind,

Submitting to the chill in a way

That its master never could.

Cold and lonely,

The shivering girl huddles against him for warmth

Apparently unnoticed by that single all seeing eye.

Yet it seemed somehow appropriate that she share her misery

With the unfeeling warrior...

She who so rarely feels misery...

His back turns to the biting wind.

Tears fall on a red coat

As he briefly envelopes her in folds of crimson,

Then wordlessly

Strides off

Leaving her alone on the hill.

Alone...

He sighs softly when he sees

Those drops of dark blood.


uh... well you see, in my case, Misery doesn't love company, Misery writes poetry. Thats about all I have to say about this... heh.
