The Red Boots

The girl in red played it safe for far too long

She searched and searched for her inner song.

Little did she know it waited inside.

It ate at her as relationships died.

Fear of the darkness kept her running in rhythm

Looking through him she is reminded of the guilty sin

Casting aside her creative talents

She sought solace in his musical balance.

He pulled her in as it was love at first sight

He danced with her soul, eyes of brown quivering delight.

Speaking the lies she needed to hear

Shedding many a tear

How many times would she forgive and forget

Until a fist would tell her that it was not over yet.

Broken and bruised she would raise her head

Fighting with the feelings of regret

As she considers the red

Stolen from the child as the footprints spread

Her mother stopped her painting her heart's desire

She believed from the being it wasn't her fire.

The love of the paint saw her clearing the way for his talents instead.

She was left as he moved ahead.

He threw paint on canvas' galore

As she remained silent wishing to sore

He sold thousands with his magical grin

She remained thinking only of their sin.

Enchanting red finds her dancing instead with boots that reclaim

the lost vision of fame.

Now is her chance to share the fire of her source,

As the curious red seeks to express all that was once put to bed.

Under the covers of low self esteem the colour awakens once

more to her dream.

Life is never what it seems
