It all happened so fast
But when it did time stood still
The crimson stained her dress
There was no time to feel
He snatched her up
And took shelter
He wasn't sure what to do
At first he just held her
The scarlet kiss will sever bliss
He knows how much he needs her
"Our fate not sealed, this wound will heal"
It's no wound it's a scarlet kiss
Minutes to hours
And hours to days
Her breathing had slowly
Started to fade
Her skin grew cold
He knew then
In short time
She'd awaken again
So he bound her up
For her own good
As delicately
As he could
Then he placed her
In the corner
Of their little
House of horrors
Patiently he waited
To see what she would do
And after a few hours
She stirred and he understood
Softly she moaned
As if to ask, "Why?"
A look of pure terror
As she opened up her eyes
