Red and the Wolf
Hair as red as apples snags on branches
A basket swings by her side filled with nothing but secrets
too naive, too young
Her hand is on the door now
too many lies
She's pulling back the sheets with a smile
Her cloak is on the ground
too many teeth
He pulls her close
too in love with danger
She's not smiling anymore
Why didn't she listen?
too late
all that's left is a basket completely still and a letter
too much blood
Dear Mr. Wolf, my love,
Satisfied he plucks a strand of hair redder than blood from her cloak
too heartless
