slick red

slick red
running smooth
oozing grace
pain to lose

rusted silver
erodes despair
conceals the ache
beyond repair

bleak light
hits the spot
reveals the torment
burning hot

reaping seeping
yields plural perfection
the sacrifice
brings resurrection

oh the aftershock
hollow red road
dotted lines
haunt like a ghost

slick red
running smooth
was not enough
pain to lose

turn to lethal
must decide
take it in now
cyanide
