There's a tightness
in my throat
when I look to you.
I wanted to keep you special,
tied you up in that tiny space,
all your memories kept like treasure,
but you became mundane,
engraved with gold in my days and life,
a part of the morning sky.
You painted my days in a lilac shade,
throwing red and blue my way
so that I could feel close to you
and find distance all the same.
There are storm clouds in this purple sky
ready to fall heavy with rain
as it drips from my eyes
that feel this indifference in disguise,
tries to hide this part of me
that cries from the inside
to be seen and be freed from these lies.
There's no peace in this demise
'cause the clock is ticking with time
moving quickly to divide
what is ours into what is mine.
You're a purple lover
always been on my mind
and still only a stranger
that I felt was too kind
but your presence is like wine,
gets me drunk, makes it sublime.
You'll still be my purple lover, even when it's no longer our time
