blue
soft light filters through the window.
Only the scent of conditioner and rose grounds me to reality;
Otherwise, maybe I could fly away.
Embrace the fading twilight like a long-lost friend,
dance through soft clouds
let the mist match the tears on my cheeks.
grey
the quiet stillness.
Unmatched only by the frost left lonely on my windowpane
because no one draws smiley faces in the condensation anymore.
It's not sadness as it is emptiness
ten thousand untold truths
that caress my lips and constrict my throat
because who would I tell them to?
blue
the teal moments of happiness.
They come with the sun, momentary bright cerulean
and as fleeting and triumphant as the sunset.
And the navy settles with the night,
soft yet heavy as the blanketing snow
suffocating, crushing.
grey
the regret and unshed tears.
As the blood of the fawn strikes the rocks
the spring will wash it back to grey,
and all will be forgotten.
In further years we will no longer cry in mourning
but instead, only sob for an innocence long forgotten.
