Red Lipstick

Red lipstick
Smeared across her lips
Dominatrix boots
As black as night
That she wears with abandon
I love it when she sings to me
And looks me in the eye
Baptizes me with liquor
Burns my soul with her smile
I can’t let her go
Haunted by memories
Years pass in a haze
Doing what I have to do
I wish I could see her
Outside of the sonic waves
Emancipated at dawn
I have nothing but love for her
Our hearts are fragile and breaking
Scratch marks down our souls
The fire that rages inside
Destroys all heartache
Cleans out the wounds
I want to see the happiness on her face
That eclipses the sun
Deliverance from pain
In the light of joy
She is my girl
I will hold her in my arms
Until the world ends
