They say that when you meet your love the world bursts into kinds of red.
red is blood pooling into puddles
red is the sun glowing when it drops along the horizon
red is war and fighting and lives lost
why is the color of love the same as that of loss?
They say that when you touch your love the world adds in tints of orange.
orange is fall and falling
orange is new crops
orange is the sourness of released hate
why is the color of freedom the same as that of bitterness?
They say that when you speak to your love it all gets an edge of yellow.
yellow is the stars too far away to find
yellow is the metal made of greed
yellow is bones brittle with death
why is the color of infinity the same as that of death?
They say that when you smile at your love green sneaks into the picture.
green is grassy fields unleashed
green is newborns and life
green is scaly sneaky snakes of deceit
why is the color of life the same as that of lies?
They say that when you heal your love it all suddenly is joint by blue.
blue is skies sunny and dark
blue is the sea rolling and destroying
blue is glass fragile to the touch
why is the color of release the same as that of capture?
They say that when you kiss your love it all is turned around into indigo.
indigo is nights without the moon
indigo is veins which run with cold blood
indigo is so hot it melts
why is the color of warmth the same as that of ice?
They say that when you say 'I love you' to your love violet casts over it all.
violet is the color of darktime flowers
violet is the color of reality unimagined
violet is the color of corpses wrought with eternity asleep
why is the color of fiction the same as that of the truth?
They say that when your love betrays you it all becomes washed over by shades of black.
shades of black aren't supposed to exist
shades of black are what remains when all else is gone
shades of black is who we are
why is the color of my love the same as that of my loss?
