if emotions are colors
love is a burning red
sadness the deepest of blues
so i painted seven oceans on fire
and named it after you
Colors are easy. Words are not.

A man's heart is the ocean filled with many boats
but he only keeps one afloat

you loved me
like your favourite song
on your favourite side.
played over and over
again and again
repeat after repeat.
the cassette became worn
the vinyl became scratched
no needle or player could fix it.
the song distorted
taken out of proportion
but you blame it on the cassette.
you threw it out
like a broken toy
and purchased a new one.
but the song could never be the same
as the song played
on cassette side 1.

fire.
water.
a burning Forrest.
a drowning ship.
Forward to time past,
the fury roars in you.
you love her but do you?
you moved on but have you?

a sketchy situation.
a hot mess.
I stand in the ashes
from 2 years of time.
2 can play at that game.
maroon is linked to anger.
like the burning room.

blocked.
shut out.
how am i supposed to be aggravated if i cannot see?
i have questions,
set in stone.
pieces.
honestly.

am i the monster in your words?
the ghost that haunts?
when you look at her do you see me?
does it stab like a thousand knives?
a thousand bees stinging?

a girl.
drowning.
i have left the chat.
closed the door and locked it all away.
moved out.
my shadow still lingers.

do you?
hesitate.
blink twice.
remember.
call me an unreliable source
so i am the monster,
lurking your every move.
hug her and think of me.
for i am forever your monster under the bed.

I look at the time and my heart beats faster,
tonight i do something that i don't want to do.
I've dreamed for years of a happy ever after;
my firsts and lasts planned in complexities.
tonight i lose my first to a stage,
where i wouldn't first with him but my character will.
I must pretend to be her, the girl who rides in Grease Lightning with the all famous T-Bird.
Tonight i lose my first to a stage,
and i wish it was another

One
1 hour
Had passed and all I felt was pain.
The realisation had not yet removed the stain.

1 day
Had passed and I felt free.
Nothing could stop me from being me.

1 week
Had passed and you tried getting me back.
The slashes, cuts, and words could never draw me back.

1 month
Had passed and I felt more pain.
The scars you left were never going away.

1 year
Had passed and I could never forget
The day I told you the end.

Almost 2 years
Have passed and now I think
Maybe you moved on and I'm still wearing pink.
This poem was written when the past came back like they had moved on. It made me realise that I was still holding on to the pain like a sick puppy, even when i thought i had moved on.

Wearing pink to me represents the pretty scars and pain, like the pink looks nice but the colour never quite looks good on many. It's the holding on.
