A single scarlet tear
Trembles, breaks, shatters
Against stark white silence
Tip tap - another falls
Nature's cruel clock ticks
Each ruby droplet
A heartbeat stolen
Symphony of loss
Plays in crimson notes
Tip tap, tip tap
Time bleeds away
Through porcelain fingers
They called it sacred wine
This river of ourselves
Racing through midnight veins
Until the moment
It seeks freedom
Iron perfume rises
As rubies rain down
Each pearl of existence
Dancing its last waltz
The final drop lingers
A defiant star
Before joining its brothers
In the infinite dark
Where all colors fade to black.
