Red Ink

Staining the white paper

A marking of death

A marking of truth

Blotching the surface

Red as lipstick

Dark as revenge

Covering and drowning

The end of my pen

You have to keep reading

But you still want to stop

Warnings in blood

And even the things

My Savior has taught 

All the same shade

All the same look

All of the morals

Held in that book

And why may I ask

Is it all written in red?

All just symbolic
Of the blood that's been shed

And why do I write

In a shade so true?

All just in memory 

Of blood shed for you.

Wonderful,amazing and intriguing.
Matchless and favorite lines:

All just in memory
Of blood shed for you.

Not what I expected, but very nicely done.

Interesting. I like it, but the rhyming and stanzas change throughout the poem. I don't know if that's what you were trying to do, but that's what I noticed. Excellent poem!

[Olivia Marie]

thank you :) and yes, I don't know if it's a good thing, but I love changing up the rhyming, and stanzas :)

[♪The Girl Next Door♪]

Well what ever works for you! :)
