The colour of roses, the colour of blood. The colour of passion that comes like a flood. The colour of my heart, painted by you. The colour you won’t notice on me, no matter what I do. The colour of her lips, and the marks she leaves on your skin. The colour of the original sin. The colour I feel, so real it hurts. The colour of my unspoken words. The colour of her dress when she twirls, the colour of your cheeks when you look at her. The colour I hide when it sweeps over me like the tide. But it’s not the colour that tells me I can’t be with you.
