The Crimson-Violet Sky
She was beauty that night
As she walked down the flight of stairs
Into the waiting crowd
In awe over her, they stared
But she paid no attention
She just walked straight over to me
No one could put in words
How happy that made me
As she walked, her dress trailed behind
How beautiful it was
A romantic crimson-violet shade
Velvet appearing like blood
We danced and let our troubles fade
Into the night we dreamed
Nothing could stop us now
Or, so it seemed
They may have looked disdainfully
But we couldn’t care less
“That girl in the black and red suit
Dancing with the pretty one in the dress?”
We decided to go somewhere else
To be accepted and have a good time
All I knew is that I was hers
And she was all mine
We arrived and found a table
She leaned up against me and sighed
She smelled so good
But the scent of velvet lied
I was ready to give it all up for her
To her my heart fled
But little did I know
That someone would kill hers instead
I don’t know what happened next
My vision was blurred with tears
Controversy at its height
It confirmed my worst fears
I tried to run and take her with me
I could hear gunshots sounding
But she didn’t want to go
My heart was impatiently pounding
She saw her ex-boyfriend
Who she dumped to go with me
I thought she was over him
But I guess her heart wasn’t free
She let go of my hand and ran to him
He cradled her in his arms
She wanted a better protector
But he was the one causing harm
His gang started shooting more of us
He left her to slaughter some more
I silently watched in the corner
The bloody gay/straight war
She realized she was defenseless
And got up to get out of the way
I was too hurt to go help her
She would have to pay
I now wish I had done something
To stop what happened next
Shot down by her own protector
She died in the confusing, violent mess
My wounded heart will never heal
From the scar it received that day
My first and only love
Broke my heart, then passed away
The night sky never fades to black
It stays that sinister crimson-violet
And I am forever plagued
With the scent of that goddamn velvet
As she walked down the flight of stairs
Into the waiting crowd
In awe over her, they stared
But she paid no attention
She just walked straight over to me
No one could put in words
How happy that made me
