Her Tormented Monochrome World

Collapsed on the rain soaked pavement
A young lady cries
Dressed in all black
As if attending a funeral

The rain has mixed with
Saltwater tears
Her tears have become the
Tormented rain

The only color in the scene
A violent red parasol
The umbrella that once represented
Innocent memories

Those memories have been stained
Scarlet with guilt
In the lonely world
Drenched in black and white

And the only sound
In this Monochrome world:

Is the steady downpour of rain
And the promise

The whisper

Of glorifying death...
