red is the moment
that rage devours despair
blood dampens water
fire dissolves tears
i was drowning
in an ocean of blue
succumbing to the darkness
sliding into the slipstream
but we can drown
or we can burn
we can collapse
or we can overcome
we can slide between the walls
and disappear into the shadows
or we can claw our way
back into the meaningful
i was drowning in the blue
but now i am devouring in the red
