red
it's the only colour
you see
when he's around
and you assume
it's from anger and hatred
and never once
do you think
it might be passion and love
.
orange.
the first day you arrive
the sunset is a
beautiful orange
and he tells you
it will be alright
because this,
it's the beginning of a
friendship
.
yellow.
with your morning hello,
and a passing how do you do
it all seems
so simple to you.
you smile as he
enters a room
you laugh and chuckle
even with all you've been through
this is happiness
.
green.
this is the colour
for those midnight stargazes,
filled with lazed hazes
and his warm fingers
entangled in yours
this is the peacefulness
you endure
.
blue.
he says he can't do
this no more
that he has to leave
go out the door
it's the colour of your tears
that threaten to pour
it's the shades of your
dispair filling
the air
.
purple.
as a little girl,
you dreamed of being
a princess,
locked up in a tower,
wearing a fancy dress.
with him, you need it not
no more
because who wants to be royalty
when they can laugh and explore
.
(but then your world is bleached)
((greyscale becomes your reality))
