A Wasteland Covered in Red

Silent and unnoticed the girl crawls around

In the dark alley at night, where shadows lie

She sneaks and steals and kidnaps and bounds

She rules the kingdom that is my mind


My mind, where happy people pass,

Smiling faces but blank eyes

Lavish houses and lawns with vibrant grass

Never noticing when one of them dies


She snatches them from where they preen

going about their merry day

She slits their throat, so quick and clean

Never stays to watch the blood pour away


The demon, the dark lady, the queen,

A wraith, a beauty disguised

She picks them out, so quiet, unseen

No one noticed her rise


Her oppression, her hate, her cruelty

Her subjects, her creators, all of them dead

My mind withers like an unwatered lily

She dies ruling the wasteland covered in red
