Roses of Red and Robes of Blood

Folder: 
Other

Eyes decorated like hourglasses

Skin painted with gold

Soul, mind, and body forsaken for the magic

Give them your soul, they give you power



Come to me, in a flurry of red

Speak to me of a far off land

A land of magic and wanderlust

A land where I can be free



Take your slender hand and grasp my own

Spirit me away to your world

Defy gods and break your morals

Will you do this just for me?



Speak the spidery words of magic

Dazzle me with your prowess

I don't need physical strength in you

I fell in love with your mind, and that is where my love remains



Shower us with rose petals of red

Cloak us in robes the color of blood

Wrap me in your cool, dark world

Please, my darling, save me from myself
