Scarlet smears drool wrenching tales,
of tears' untold memory
chronicled, in fuchsia petals
of sunburnt roses, in forlorn heart;
Your smile painted epilogues
of brutal fate, in life's black book -
sulphur scent on lying lips -
I knew, yet I never questioned.
Today, blackened veins pour out
their final drops;
your corrupted soul mirrored
in acerbic depths, of protruded eyes...
