So Many Things look good in Red

I can’t remember why I like the color red,
And I don’t know for who she bled, my friend,
Can I ask you favor in the end?
Please send this feeling away,
It’s eating away at me, I no longer feel whole,
Bending, wavering, then finally fading me away,

Fading to what?  I dare not say,
But I know, it’s nothing I’d like to stay,
“Shhh.  It’s only in your head” You say.
“Open you eyes.” She says.

But I’ve been blind for such a very long time,
I can’t let in the light, my eyes don’t open anymore,
You can leave the lights off, I really don’t mind,
Cause I’ve been blind for such a long time,

Shhh.  I know, it’s only in my head.
And I can’t remember what she said,
I don’t know what I should have said,
All I remember is that she looks good in red,

It’s taken me such a long time to see,
Such a long time to find what it means to be me,
But I finally know what it takes to set me free, and my friend
I do see again, and you know what I find?
So many things look good in red.

Vey cool poem...omigosh! I'm saying "cool."
  Oh, help! Let me think of something more befitting to say...
  Nope!  Cool will do. Keep em coming deranger and I'll keep devouring them.  How strange! Do you ever read something and then write the exact same thing with out thinking about it? How about awesome poem instead?  < !signature-->

To return to innocence.

This is hot, Deranger, you.
An extraordinary poem. I must save it to read again, if I may ?!

Chansondegeste:  Red hair  

Sonjes:  Cool is cool with me, wait…uh.

Lotharingia:  Well, don’t burn yourself (:, of course you can save it!  We’re all here to share, right?  As for the extraordinary part, I think this one could have been drug induced…

Poutprincess:  Hehe, red is a good color….

LM:  Devil in a red dress?  Cause I have seen them in all colors  

Thank you all, this is a great departure from the usual gloomy depressing crap I write…mmm, red….
