I want to know why
Why she would ditch us
For them
In my head
I ask her why
Every time I see her

I used to miss her friendship
Until I realized
She was never my friend

We used to talk
And laugh
Then we stopped.

Her quirky humor
And sly smile
Used to make me smile
Now it makes me angry

Maybe I’ve changed
Maybe she has

At the moment, my favorite color
Is the color of peace
and despair
But it could change tomorrow
or the next day

Purple is the color of my darkest thoughts
so, purple is always present within me
That, for me, is comforting
Something that is always there
Even if
no one else is

Purple tastes like rain
on a spring night
It is the feeling you get
when you see someone you love
Even if you know
you can never be near them

Purple tastes like tears of joy
and tears of sorrow
At the same time

But what I like most about purple
is that it tastes like life
Like even if your world is crumbling
there will still be
A glimmer of hope
