i overlooked the red in your rage,
the orange in your fiery words.
i saw past the yellow lights flashing from your skin,
WARNING, WARNING they had said,
but i didn't listen.
i pretended i couldn't see the green in your eyes that always gave way to jealousy,
the blue in your endless pool of sadness that i could never staunch.
towards the end i couldn't even see the indigo in the sky as we danced under starts for the last time,
or when you wore the violet shirt i bought you for your birthday last year.
all i could see was the white in your lie
when you promised forever.
