The Color Red

Into the darkness, where I lie
not knowing where to go
It is here, I soon must die
and still have nothing to show

all around me, the color red
is slowly fading away
in my heart, I know I'm dead
and yet I try to stay

To my left, I see the stains
all thanks to that bullet
I try to scream, as it rains
I see where I was hit

Into the ground, I am placed
never to be seen again
My own brother, I had faced
killed by my own kin

I lie here, in this ground
as I slowly rot away
Never again, to make a sound
It's here I'll forever stay

The cops come, by day and night
as they begin to investigate
they wonder why, we had to fight
and what caused all the hate

finally, they decide to take him away
they take him straight to jail
it's there, I hope he'll forever stay
and one day he'll burn in hell

Probably not a story we'll be seeing on on Hallmark Hall of Fame, but it holds the attention, and for all the right reasons. You do dark well, Venom. 10 exposition points!

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
