How She Became Red Velvet

 Her heart weakened

How long has she become unread?

Lost beyond days,

Increasingly, delayed

Time has been stolen, taken; mistaken

Apple of an eye

The one-dollar lucky day

Rewards for miles, the distance between states

Just in time for leftovers, a red velvet taste

How long does one play the game of a heart without a face?

Time is taken, just enough for the apple to stale

Its been over a decade, how did she lose, what made her fail?

What happened to the days, words made a promise safe

There still is a need, yes indeed

She yearns what the heart lessens to pour out loud

She became silent, heartbroken

Mostly, she was in denial.

As much as she felt miscued,

She never let her love fade for you.
