Red

Black
Night
Lit by stars
Walk with fright
A party long past due
Old friends too long
Too soon
End is near
Red will come
Before this night is done

Walk inside
See the room
Familiar faces
Brightened by colors
Of places
Long gone
Never existed at all

Music
Discussion
Dance
Romance
All alone
Spying changes that never were

Looking
Seeing frightened eyes and faces
As the door opens
Poppers pop outside
Red comes inside
Then black

Awaken
Cloudy white
Movements seen
Faces look on with relief
And beeps
Slowly
Slow
Die
Cloudy vision
Cries out loud
Black

Rainy day
Drizzling wet
Black surrounds
Gray is felt
Preachings heard
Old friends
Leave tears
Eyes lay
Upon a stone that day
Then left
Are feelings
And emptiness comes
Within old friends
As days go by
And black is night

Red had come
And red had gone
Leaving grey
All alone
Black was near
As was the end
Of friendships dear
And life was at an end
