It's dark

10 seasons we created

Between the words we exchanged

After a winter night

On a dewy autumn,

I called it love.

9 different colours

Sparkled in your eyes

I changed my curtains

To all those shades

8 days it took

For you to take my call

My heart felt hollower

Than your apology

7 roses in a bouquet

All a shade of red

You looked at my expectant face

And said you like the white ones

6 minutes late

I entered the cafe

Your glare greeted me

And your retreating back

Bid me goodbye

5 reasons I gave myself

To love you again

But at night

4 of them disappeared as I

discovered in your bedroom

3 guns you had been

Hiding from me

2 bullets is all you took

To take away the future

Which could have existed but won't

1 body lied

Blood painting the floor

Your eyes of 9 shades

Still stayed closed

0 promises remained

As you opened your dark eyes

And looked at my frozen body

Tinted red.
