the Scarlet Wall

Her body flung up against the scarlet wall
Encased in sweat from her last call
Perfume fading as she closed her eyes
Body filling with the wishing of fresh air
Instead, she was greeted with the scent of despair
And lips on her lips
Legs in the air
Arms wrapped around his neck, oh so reliant
Saddened that he was her next client
But it didn't feel like it, it never did
She loved him dearly since she was a kid
But that didn't matter at the rate this was going
He wanted to get started: no foreplay, just boning
Her baby blue dress fell from the scarlet wall
His vision engulfed in her all
Black laced garments and cool purple hair
He looked in her eyes to see what was there
Her soul cried out on the Scarlet wall
Where her innocence was lost and her life began to fall
It held every scream
Every moan
Everything
He saw that in her eyes and then it started to sting
Her once beautiful scent turned into one of musk
Her life was in the hands of people she couldnt trust
Until now.
He picked up her dress off the hard wood floor
And grabbed her off of the Scarlet Wall
Whisked her up off her feet
And showed her her greatest defeat
The Scarlet Wall, so plush and wide
Showed the tears that she constantly cried
And the actions that she had to subsidize
In order to keep her being alive
The Scarlet Wall held her whole life
She didn't want to be there but she had to take the flight
The wall...was more important than you thought
It harbors the residue of the battles she faught
The Scarlet Wall was colored by the blood of her obstacles heavied
But now, because of him, it's all been levied

The Scarlet Wall started to fade
As its lover walked away
Streaks came down in bloody tears
As it regretted what it made her do over the years...
The Scarlet Wall cried crystal clear tears
