Red is the color of blood
It pours from my wrists
The hurt is to much to bear
My tears sting the gaping gashes

The fire inside is burning me to ashes
Slowly I perish
Until I am almost gone
My eyes open

To the red aura surrounding you
Knowing you love me so
Forever together we may be
But I can't stay

For my hope is gone away

Oh. Why my goodness this is a good poem. I especially love the first two stanzas for their clarity and poignancy. It's an interesting meter you have because it has structure and lacks structure at the same time o.O If that makes sense. My favorite line would have to be "My eyes open/To the red aura surrounding you". Definitely my favorite, but I can't spell out just why...perhaps it's the use of the motif of red but gah I like it :D
