Symbolism hurts:

Never use white for innocence

Because her shirt was white when she died

And Elysium got there before I could.

Symbolism hurts:

Never use a rose for love

Because once I pricked myself on a thorn

And she kissed it better but now she's gone.

Symbolism hurts:

Never use black for death

I have been there, and it's hazy red

Like when you're losing blood.

(Symbolism hurts:

Never use green for jealousy.

My jealousy is blonde and long

Like her hair)

Symbolism hurts:

Never use a kiss for love

Four years of love

And not one kiss

(Symbolism hurts:

Blue is not sad, blue is not melancholy

His eyes are blue, they are

And I've never seen anything happier)

He is green like the sea,

And I am black like...what color is black?

Don't put me down to symbolism

At least black doesn't hurt the way green does.
