Red is the colour of love,
but it is also the colour of danger.
Where there should be a dove,
there is only a dagger.

You loved me once,
and I loved you dearly too,
but now I am only a dunce
hit with that vase you threw.

Why do you hate me?
I'm sorry but I must ask you so,
for I long so desperately to be free,
because I cannot take another blow.

But I cannot leave until I know,
what turned your love so bitter,
out there in the winter snow.
