2. Orange

The sun was in haze
Smoke or dust shrouded mountains
I felt stranded here.

3. Yellow

Sometimes people say
That I have yellow hair—um...
Sorry. It's called blonde.

4. Green

I sank deep in grass
Flowers around me swaying
The world was turning.

7. Violet

Hidden to all eyes,
You searched only to be seen
And to be noticed.

6. Indigo

When I first met you
You were always in purple
With the slightest blue.

5. Blue

A sound that gives hope
It's more than you think at first
Spera de caelum.

1. Red

Fire licked at my soul
Burning a hole in the night
Like a phoenix death.

Absent

You sometimes don't know
Just what you feel for someone
Until they're not there.

Somewhere

Somewhere far away
There's probably a pumpkin
With a happy life.

Can't Think

I can't even think
Of what I should write, or say
I'm just so tired.

Literally, I feel like I can't think at all I'm so tired.

Obey

I want to obey
Because I know I'll be safe
When I follow You.

Colorless

Everything's just grey
And black, and dark, with no white;
A colorless world.

Bird

You're an anxious bird
Holding you down for so long
Made you wish to fly.
