Are they red yet? Are they red yet?

[pleasantlydark]

Hopelessness fails to elude
Tragic feelings that nothing will satisfy
Apathetic notions permeate my moods
Where has my candle gone?
What put out my flame?

The shell I push around this town
Yearns so much to just lay down

Quit the fight for it is lost
Who's the victim?
What's the cost?

I pass the hours
alone in bed
so many places
I could be instead

Yet I stay
with this gun at my head
Anticipating
the sheets stained red
