Hardened
Crimson passage
Secrets flushed pale toil of
Red to the keeper standing weak
Doors inn what shall you have in store for me?
Darken hallway shatter window
Pane stolen red ribbon
Cheating whores screwed
Hardened
Lipstick
Her kiss dripped
Of crimson blood stain poured
Poison lie mourning in darken
Hall fantasy waiting beneath shadows
To arched passage cold winter
Pain wrapped in red hands
Fears hereafter
Lipstick
Passage
Sedative sketch
Purple hands drawn candle
Where walls close lame in dead eyes stared
Back parch on lips choked before eyes Flash a
Sparkle among deeds blight puppet
Hardened of mystery
As for waiting
Passage
