Damnation in a Red Dress

It's just a day 
Of walking away 
Where love's left 
Aside 
Looking back on 
This silent movie 
Moment in 
My life 

The lead was played 
By a queen dressed in 
Dreams-be-damned 
Eyes 
The scene favored 
Her right side, 'til I 
Made it through 
The night 
The morning labored 
To dredge my mind of 
Regrets, and gin 
Alike 
But where clouds hold 
On, to rays of light 
She resides 
Quiet 
No letter could pass 
Her lips, save to form 
Her last word 
"Goodbye" 

Flash-forward to 
Present times, and I'm 
Still not quite 
I 
She left no mark 
Permanent, as her 
Lipstick on 
My world 
Yet still she stands 
As vivid, as the 
Night we lived 
Our lie.
