In red I write
Your nails to my flesh
My coldness to your heat

Avoid of brightness
Splendor is my gray
Orange to black

Punches of the past
I can name each demon
Of a dream dreamt

Glass eyes cracked
The glow within
Of a fevered feed

Breadcrumbs laid
Exit of path offered
Greens of soothe

My quiet defined
Within beats of skip
Choices refined

This basket empty
Acceptance denied
The devil said nay
