Colors

I drew a picture the other day. My Mommy's heart was blue and gray. Big blue tears fell all around, tumbling to the soft green ground. My Daddy handed her papers, white, and then they had a bright red fight. Screaming was heard around the block nearly until 7 o'clock. The dark brown door slammed so hard, and Mommy ran out into the yard. Daddy was gone, his car down the road. Mommy sobbed, threw rings of gold. I hid in my bed, rainbow covers pulled high, while Mommy yelled at the pink and blue sky. I drew a picture the other day. My Mommy's heart was blue and gray.
