Untouchable

Grey is the colour of the winter sky that wraps it's dull arms around me each day that I wake.

Green is the colour of his eyes that looked at me as though I was too beautiful to break.

Red is the colour of my eyes after months without sleep and too many days spent crying.

Black is the colour of the pain inside my heart after giving up on trying.

Yellow is the colour of the sun in spring that can no longer warm my soul.

Blue is the colour running through my veins that burn for me to feel whole.

Brown is the colour of his skin as I bury my happy face in the curve of his neck.

Pink is the colour of the lipstick that I apply to cover up the fact that I'm a wreck.

 

And please know that while you’re living your life, I’m in the dark falling apart.

Because you are the colour forever in my heart..
