mom never liked the color red.
i was 7, i got her red roses, mom
said they died next day.
i was 8, i got her a pair of red
earrings, they never left her
jewelry box.
i was 10 when i got my mom a red
shirt, she gave it away.
i was 11 when i got my mom red
nail polish, the polish accidentally
got dropped by her.
i was 13 when i got her a red
velvet cupcake, it went into the
trash.
at the age of 14, i got my mom the
best gift i could think to give. I
gave her a note written in red that
said "i know you never liked the
color red and i want you to love
me, so i decided to take all the red
out of me to make you happy"
while my lifeless body was beside
it with no red left.
