Red. Red pours from the **** a great divide, a tragic fall, you don't know what comes next, so you sit there stunned - terrified. Black. Husk-like soul, lost in winter's hold, you study the forming scab, for days, months, pretending it's normal now, knowing the stab-wound rests only just below. Pink. Fresh skin, a coat of new paint, waiting for your world to return to full bloom, somehow the memories, the aches, the pains, are slowly erased by a Lethean embrace. White. Now you're far gone; yes, you've moved on, but sometimes, the summer sun shines on new silver skin, and suddenly you're back at the beginning again.

About the painful process that is "moving on".
