I am either this or that, black or white
So no wonder I get muddled when life cannot be sorted into is or was
I either oversleep peacefully, or wake early just to talk to the birds under the cobalt sky

I knew that I loved your sapphire eyes and that you loved my bubblegum lips,
I did not know that our celestial fate could take flight so swiftly.
I shuddered awake from a lavender dream about our souls as one, to an amber storm reality
You loved me crimson, but you always loved yourself a little brighter
Me? Well I loved us
I'll sleep in so I don't have to feel the forest fire you lit in my ivory chest
It is still burning a hole in my ribs to show everyone I meet that I am, was and always will be a firecracker kiss
I was ignited by your explosive teal spirit
But even the most beautiful fireworks must burn out to allow the next to whistle into my indigo air
