you dyed the lawn pink
when you spilled your lovely, flowery words.

you filled my home with the color red
with an exciting, loving hue. with you.

you added rainbows to black and white movies
more vibrant than i could ever imagine.

but then, your green lights began to flash yellow and red
causing me to be unsure about my every move.

blue skies turned grey and filled with tears
like a sunny saturday sabotaged with a sudden storm.

you stained my bed orange
eternally drawing attention to where you no longer lie.

and you painted me a royal purple
royally *******, yet, mysteriously still wanting you.

you taught me how to live a life, filled with color
only to wreak black and white havoc in my life.

you left me feeling more color blind than ever
and in a dark, colorless shell of my former self.

she says she wants
affection,
kisses,
love.
and I can do that
but I need to know
if she wants it from me

she woke up at 3 am
the sky was a hazy purple
from today's snow

the snow wasn't the only
thing falling today
she too, was falling

falling in love
snowflake
by snowflake

as they walk away,
you still see the shadow
and everything is okay
shadowsoundsilence

shadowsoundsilence
the figure grows darker
but you can still hear their steps
nothing bad could occur
shadowsoundsilence

shadowsoundsilence
in the blink of an eye and an ear
they have transformed into silence
nothing is okay and they disappear
shadowsoundsilence

be careful always
because before you know it
anything could become a
shadow
then
sound
then
silence

as of late, i cannot speak
i have a few things i want to say
but am too terrified to
so i do not speak at all
i do not say what i want
or anything else
nothing else matters
