Before she met you
her world was a complete
black and white.
But you spoke in colors
in waves like spilled ink
and showed her the in between-
the gray of life.
She can't seem to wash you off
for you flaunted her that there were even more
that there are reds, oranges, and greens;
lighter and warmer colors.
Love, peace, happiness, and life.
But then you left her and
she learned even more
you taught her of
blues, yellows, and purples;
colder, gloomier, and darker colors.
Sadness, broken heart, and anxiety.
You have lost track of a girl
with sunflower-shaped dreams
and you left her having no idea
that you were her favorite color
yet she's grateful
of how much you taught her
about the colors of this world.
