It's the color of your blood as it rises to your skin It's the color of what's supposed to be love but in reality is hate It's the color your skin turns when you take a hot shower It's the the color your eyes turn when you've been up all night It's the color of when he walks into the room and you get little butterflies It's the color of your teachers lips It's the color roses you get from a secret admirer with the note that says stay strong It's the color you paint on your own little canvas It's the color of relief and emptiness It's the color of the last little bit of hope you hold on to
