Description
scarlet.it drips from the windows
and the leaves of darkened trees,
from the eaves of rooftops.
the devil claims our debt.
if it were me
lying peacefully beneath that tree
enveloped in cold tendrils of
blissful nonsense,
I would ride the clouds of envy
and if it were me
I would continue for you, you see
to love and to hate always
moving forward.
but you're here no longer.
what happened to the daily routines
in which passion and pain
were muddled together like
the strands of your hair
and the days of our teens?
but it was you
and you were the one who
decided my fate
for me,
eating through my skin and bones
and it was you
who left me here alone to
ponder silly existences
and wish
I had always been alone.
the angels point to you
but it's always been me
so please see, please see
that I forgive you.
scarlet.

Alex, you genious you! This is amazahzing! "ponder silly existences" That's my favorite line! 8D How it starts and ends with scarlet makes me happy because I love the word scarlet~ Rolls off the tongue nicely. And I love how this took me on a journey~ Keep it up! 8D

I really like this, especially the first lines of each of the stanzas. Also, the first and last words of the poem being scarlet make me wonder if scarlet was a person or a thing, or something like water that actually drips from the leaves. Thought provoking, this will stick with me.
