So pretentious and vainglorious, not allowing anyone else through,
Merely diminishes the person and fails to give the respect that’s due
Red is a color of ineptitude and dismay, representing a word sinking below the greatest depths
You see infatuation and passion, I see wilted roses and derision
Bright and radiant slowly transforms to somber and glum
Laying on your deathbed; blood dripping down, knowing that you soon will succumb
Carefully close your eyes and the pain will slowly give way to the night;
The absence of all color, the mixture of all might
Red begins to transform to black, and the cruelty begins to end
The two finally begin to blend, and the fortitude starts to cease
All is over, all is silent, your heart and soul are finally at ease
Red has made way for black and you finally can transcend
