You always said what I needed to hear when I needed it
You always gave your opinion and I heeded it
You always talked and I listened
I liked the way your eyes glistened
The sheer passion that your words had
The way I made you calm after you were mad
And I felt a rainbow of emotions
And it challenged my devotions
So you can imagine my surprise
When you didn't meet my eyes
You deserve to know how I felt
Because now i'm stone when I used to melt
Most people say red is the color of anger
I attribute the color to danger
So the color i'll put to my rage
Is a steely gray you saw all those days
Most say blue is for sadness
I say it's for gladness
The color I say was my sorrowful tears
Is the black you'll see in your infinite years
Most say yellow is happy
I think it's sappy
Yellow is annoying
Should've been my warning
Most say Green is for envy
I say it's pretty
It goes with my eyes
It turned red with my cries
And it broke me inside when I had to see you those days
I just spun on my heel and sashayed away
But you weren't ready and I didn't forgive
And I'll regret it as long as I live
I thought I loved you.
You kissed me, it grew.
And then you left.
I wished you the best..
Or that's what I would have said if it were true.
In truth, I wanted to be with you.
But you didn't need me.
So you had to leave me.
So the colors I felt
The colors you saw
Aren't how I feel now
Not close at all
Now I feel gold.
Acceptance.
My bitterness did fold.
Repentance.
And the rainbow comes back sometimes
And I thought of you each night
But that's quite alright
The color I feel is light.
