And all was quiet.
The tear-blue sky silent...

Tender skin warms mine,
caresses drowning my thoughts...

All dressed in red from head to toe,
was pretty Little Red Riding Hood...

Gone.
They shed a few tears...

Oh, bittersweet romance.
Curse me for lifetimes...

Gone. Finished. Over. Done.
I've said goodbye to my number one...

Your words,
venom dripping from your tongue...

Beautiful home, happy family,
such a perfect disguise...

An adored disaster:
I didn't want...

Pasty hands meet haunted ears,
the scream retreats, into the darkness of...

In the silence, they can hear
the cherubs calling their names...

Lights spark and fragment on a salty sea.
Questions flitter behind strained, tired eyes...
