Analysis of Red
McKenzi Kelly 2000 (MA)
We unraveled each other by the sea
You are a dangerous combination
Everything I love
And hate
I drank up the lies
Smoothly rolling off your tongue
Masked by the sweet scent of wine
Red
Like the devil
That continuously flowed
through our blood streams
An intoxicated sailor
Under the moon and stars
Lost at Sea
lost within
But I didn’t care
I watched you like I was at the drive-in
As if we were eight again
Children playing on the beach
Unaware of who we’ll become
Playful innocence reflecting
On the windshield of the car
I saw right through you
So I stayed
I collected our memories
Like I did seashells
Decorating my heart with my favorite ones
patiently wait
For this movie to be over
patiently wait
For a new one to begin
