you told me
your favourite colors
were red and purple
so i dressed in those colors
my dress carried red ribbons
and my eyeshadow glistened in purple
but you began to use me as your canvas
you'd leave purple marks on my skin
and sometimes when you were livid
you'd vibrate red
and red would trickle down my lips
but i knew you loved me
so i let you use me as your canvas
and then one day
i lay on the floor
in a pool of red
and you began to laugh
oh
you're running
why are you running
my chest is hurting
i thought you loved red
i thought you loved me
your favourite colors
were red and purple
