That red ribbon is so wrinkled. Rouge like blood Or rushing anger Or a blaring stop sign. It’s crumpled:

I feel so lonely. I want to die. Feeling like the only one on earth… My laughter is a lie. Laugh on, laugh on.

Without you, I feel the pain. The rain seems cold now. Thunder is only evil, And the sky is bare and pale.

I sing of a new carol Which starts silly giggles As a speeding blue carriage Runs merrily through the dark.

Let my joy be a promise To my future self Who is so beautiful Even if she isn’t pretty.
