and yeah you may notice the pattern of "emo" love/death/angsty stuff...i was young okay.

Crimson
by stephinika

The crimson light reflect many a meaning
It could show us love in all its beauty
As a rose petal with such sweet fragrance
But it could also represent the pain and suffering
Of death in all it’s glory
I pursue both reflections of this crimson water
Of love, death…they are so far apart, yet
They intertwine together but so perfectly
The simplicity of it all
Along with a maze of complications
Follow the pathway of it all
So as I drop
These crimson red rose petals
Onto the floor beside me
And see the blood of death
Falling to the ground
I see the crimson light approach me
As my love for you
Leads me to death.

Ah, I really like how you grasp the concept of different emotions, yet stay true to the theme of crimson element.
