If pain was a colour, I feel like it would be purple. At a crossroad between the sadness of blue, And the rage of red. Bruised. Confused. A consequence secondary to the impact. Not intended to pierce skin, but lasting long enough to feel it. *How can love be the only thing able to create and destroy; Mimicking the divine, yet making you lose faith in it altogether?* My eyes are coloured red. Cheeks flushed with despair. Salty tears splatter my sweater. Nails chipped. Sun down. Clouded and silenced. *Disoriented from the recoil of a loaded gun pulled too soon. Every melody sounds flat, but the ringing in my ears remain sharp.* I can only hear the faint hum of my heartbeat, Attempting to carry on. Barely blinking. Eyelids half shut. Egg shells have turned into shards of glass on every floor I walk on. Disconnected. Discombobulated. Disorganized. Disappointed. *A bleeding heart turned purple. What would it take to feel whole again?* gd

Purple.
If pain was a colour, I feel like it would be purple. At a crossroad between the sadness of blue, And the rage of red. Bruised. Confused. A consequence secondary to the impact. Not intended to pierce skin, but lasting long enough to feel it. *How can love be the only thing able to create and destroy; Mimicking the divine, yet making you lose faith in it altogether?* My eyes are coloured red. Cheeks flushed with despair. Salty tears splatter my sweater. Nails chipped. Sun down. Clouded and silenced. *Disoriented from the recoil of a loaded gun pulled too soon. Every melody sounds flat, but the ringing in my ears remain sharp.* I can only hear the faint hum of my heartbeat, Attempting to carry on. Barely blinking. Eyelids half shut. Egg shells have turned into shards of glass on every floor I walk on. Disconnected. Discombobulated. Disorganized. Disappointed. *A bleeding heart turned purple. What would it take to feel whole again?* gd
