Vermillion

You leave me in stains Marks I will never rid myself of With vermillion veins I bled onto myself, my clothes stained vermillion Forever vermillion

You stain my lungs I constrict and breathe you in Sanguine words paint me free Shackles stained within as we scream Forever sanguine, vermillion

You stain my skin It shrieks, shrill and screeching You stain it black and vermillion with your name, sin The very mark I struggle to hide, bleaching Forever sanguine, black and vermillion

You've stained my memories My own mind I cannot escape You stain them, with useless allegories With everlasting floods upon the mindscape The floods stain it forever sanguine, vermillion

You've stained me I bleed onto myself I breathe you in, us unable to see I bathe my skin in white to drown out your name And we stain each other forever vermillion
