Purple like bruises
purple like the end of the day
Purple like my cool pencil that I never got back in grade school and think about when I walk past the school supply aisle
Purple like it hurts
When the swelling goes down and you can see the it for what it is

Purple reminds me of you

No
Purple like bruises that hurt but don’t remember how they got there
Purple like that pencil I eventually forgot about
Purple like the last color in the sky before it goes dark
