Blissful Ignorance

There is more to this lady than a dress and a trademark laugh.

Red Rivers Die
By Kainen

My bosom, perfect and round,
My body, slim and tight,
My legs, long and slender,
My arms, lithe and smooth

My dress, sexy, long, and red. . .so red. . .
A far cry from what's inside
Blood of darker shades flow within my veins
My bones, grey and weak

I am black aren't I? . . .so black deep within
My arms, I see, thrust forward in front,
My skin turning a day's night
Crumpling. . .decaying. . .dying. . .

Dirt I now stand on,
Sod yet to be laid
My knees sink to the ground,
My hands twist to claws

Furiously, I dig to uncover what's beneath
A pale ghost of I laying at peace
Tears of blood run from death's eyes
Staining the earth with its vial substance

My hair, dull now,
Fall before my eyes
Blond. . .grey. . .black. . .
Gather in my hands

Bones crumple while skin peels
Soon I will be dust
Blown away from what I was,
Escaping my Shinra ties

Free of them, at peace I rest
Gleefully I know it's true,
I am the Scarlet Lady,
But I was the Scarlet Bitch
