Crimson-Red Tears

Tears turned crimson
And gray with fright
Keep her awake
In the dark, lonely nights

She felt forgotten
And was afraid
Her heart was cold
Endless songs played

Reminding her of memories
Black and white times
Before they turned gray
And her words formed rhymes

Back when the world wasn't so dark
And the girl felt abundant love
When hope was seen
And feelings weren't shoved

When people were nice
And the world was not mean
The girl needed to remember
How this could be seen

But instead she cried
Tears of red
That kept her awake
When she went to bed
