IOU

A trail of vermillion lights
Shining wet as the tears on her face
When she saw
Bright, it took her down
Unearth the forgotten
No more behind walls and notes.
Strap it up for this
Searching the sky
For answers he will never find
A romance ruptured
But hidden,
He feels not now
He is above the dirt offered,
An audience for the ascent.
She knows the price
Ripped from her veins
She climbed the walls
Thought it eternal.
Now she lets fall silently
A single rose
Into his grave
