Blood Red, Beautiful Dead

Oh my dear
How could you lie to me?
Oh my dear
How could you have loved me?

Oh my dear
You are never near
Never even when I saw you there,
Ever lovely hair

And now what?
And now who?
When and where,
Why, who cares?

I loved you
Like no one else could
And you lied to me
Like the Devil would

I knew that you were dead
In your heart like a rose
Still so… beautiful
And yet… so, so…
Red

Like my blood that spilt
And like the garment you wore
So beautiful, so beautiful
But now nothing but
A head

You were so cruel to me
And I so good to you
How could you have taken
My love and broken
My heart?

You were so good to me
And I so cruel to you
How could I have mistaken
The beauty and the break
In your smile?

Yet I knew, always knew
That we were meant to die
With rivers running fresh
From the throats or
Perhaps the eye

So beautiful, red blood
Beautiful, red tears
Cruel, this body dead
So good, this love unwed

And now you left me
Alone, and without you
For never shall I find
Nowhere in the world
A stream as quick and true
As, oh so, beautiful…
You

While watching the movie Sweeney Todd, I immediately fell in love with the drama that just emanates from every corner- the make-up, the black corners, the crazy lady, the sorta-ugly hero dude and the ugly girl he wants to marry, everything was so twisted and brilliant and ironic and great. And when Mr. T is just sitting with his dead lover's head in his lap, he's singing some song where he repeats the word "beautiful" over and over, and that stuck in my head and I sang it even after the movie was over. And I didnt know the words, so I made up my own lyrics and sorta made-up my own song (music to it) to it too and wrote it down. I forgot how the song part goes, but these are the lyrics I made.
