See the hurt within my eyes
Glows the red of pain and strife,
The cross I wear around my neck
Wards nothing from me in this life.
Lips of red attract a poison
From a chalice I sip blood,
Open wounds that bleed within
Too many scars misunderstood.
Blame to you is but a virtue
One that soley bares my name,
Blamed for almost everything
Time and time and time again.
Cursed am I forever knowing
Anything else but what I see,
Loneliness is not my choosing
But something you inflict on me.
As my colour drains to white
From troubled days and sleepless nights,
Eyes of red still pierce the dark
And silent lips of red embark,
In sipping blood so bitter sweet
From open scars, forever weep,
The bloody taste upon my tongue
Quenches nothing, just prolongs,
This nightmare that I'm living.

Poetry: Red eyes
by Kim Jackson
Puff, Puff, Pass,
Smoke fills the room.
Swisher sweets and blue berry yum yum perfumes the air,
Eyes redder than the blood
by Scribble66
See the hurt within my eyes
Glows the red of pain and strife,
The cross I wear around my neck
Wards nothing from me
Red eyes
No sleep
Eyes red
Feels like
Burning orbs
Need to sleep
Day is too full
Of things to do
Anyway
How will I get through the
The sun rises into the sky
With the ruddy colours
Her eyes reflect the scene
With those exhausted, weary eyes
Each weary
by Moeze Lalji
Red eyes Dracula
Following
My red blood cells
Cheap on the streets
Cops don't touch him
When the red bottle
Of wine is stabbed
