Red and Dynamite

Red flames flicker, a love so bright

But shadows creep into the night

Dynamite heart, ready to ignite

Love and hate, a twisted kite

You’re my star in the midnight sky

Sparkle fierce, then you pass me by

Karaoke nights we played our part

Laughter hides the scarred heart

Dirt beneath my nails, I try to forget

But your rose scent lingers, I can't quit

A barber's blade, trimming the edge

Love’s a wound that won't allege

Sweet as sugar, sharp like thorns

Hate’s a whisper, love’s forlorn

Between the dirt and shining light

I'm lost inside this fight

Red like a rose, love’s dynamite

Blowing up, I feel the fight

Hate to love, I can't decide

In this game of truth, I’m the lied

Slut to my feelings, caught in between

Star-crossed lovers, unseen

Colonoscopy of my soul, examined deep

Loving you’s a cut too steep

Standing in the dirt, screaming my name

Lovesick lyrics, always the same

Dirt on my hands, love’s a game

Roses bloom and fade, just the same

Red flames fade into the night

Hate and love, dance in the light

Star still shining, bright and white

Love and hate, my endless fight
