Hues.

March 13, 2016 by Emily Dill Leave a Comment

You leaned in and your mouth tasted red
But your lips were cold and blue
And the yellow of
Your pretend love
Warned of a weakness in you

There was a blackness to your smile
That showed me you’d never be mine
And I would do
While you passed through
But you had someone else to find

I offered you a tepid smile
Trying to hide the green of my need
As I pretended not to care
That a girl out there
Was making your colors bleed

You fumbled through your excuses
But all I could see was the brown
Rough like tree bark
Murky and dark
I let your apology fall to the ground

And when you left for the last time
The purple of your passion shone bright
Your face ablaze
As you ran to face
The one who would set your palette right
