The deepest shade of red

The deepest shade of red,
I’m ready to take it to bed,
For all those moments that I have bled,
That deepest shade of red.

Sleep to fly and fly to sleep,
Those moments I swam within deep,
Strangle the self to make me weep,
Ever so long I still feel like a creep,
May be I was scared and fled,
I still want that deepest shade of red.

A song, a rhythm, a desire,
Give me the strength to light the fire,
They make me sore, of which I want more,
Sometime I shall swim myself to the shore,
I can see all my fights in my head,
When I see that deepest shade of red,

Enough’s been done and said,
My lord! Put me to bed,
Would you embrace me when I am dead?
Because I know I will be forever,
That deepest shade of red.

My response to your poem:

O please don't stay forgotten,
O please don't die your death,
For giving it away,
Don't you see is your strength, immortal,
And you'll live a scarlet king,
Like blood, bright red.
Forever, Forever.


My correction, if thats okay:

**remain so shall I for what i say,
remain in me the power i embed,
remain in me the prayers that i have read,
remain in me forever that 'deepest shade of red'.**

Or atleast I am not understanding what you mean when you say power I bread*
