Red-Demption

Red is the colour of warmth,
Red is the rose I give to you,
Red is your sweet heart,
Red is beautiful love,
Red can be demonic hell,
Red can be the anger inside me,
Red can be your blood on the knife,
Red is the unforgivable pain you caused me,
Red can be your cuddles,
Red can be your sweet lips,
Red can be the new car I bought you,
Red can be the nose that gets my kiss,
Red is your appalling attitude,
Red is your hurtful words,
Red is your cheating lies,
Red was the moment I left you.
