The girl was red, all fire and heart the boy was blue, sad from the start time drew them close, their worlds were collided what came next new colors they provided it shone so brightly what they painted anew like lavender, like violet such a deep purple hue life became yellow like the sand and the sun no time for hardships when life is so fun settling down nicely yellow became green small house, three children peaceful and serene Green became brown like bark on a tree their bones grew brittle it was harder to see Age made them weaker, but their love was still strong impossible to stop this halcyon song Yet all turned black with a note from a doctor “Five months.” he’d said this time he had locked her They sat in still silence not saying a word at this mortal news for which they’d just heard Weeks went on they wept in dark dyes a song interrupted by soft subtle cries It was then they decided not to end their song sung not wade in blue shadows but live life as young Black shot to yellow in the blink of an eye they danced and they laughed and flew through the sky When the time came for her to lay down to rest it was not a sad day it was one of the best This symphony of colors which he had played such a part had flipped his world round painted red, his blue boy’s heart He joined her shortly his world turned white and nothing could dull it as he walked into night.
