tw: i talk about murder

-

my favorite color is red

because of

the specificity

of

all the shades.

like

burgundy,

candy apple,

cherry,

crimson.

whatever. 

red is a color like love

like hate

like passion

and a fire that burns

harder than the tears you cried when

your died tried to fucking murder you by

crashing his car on the side of the road.

and the pressure was red just like

your period

and the frantic texts you sent your friend,

the begging and pleading for him to wake up

even though you know he wouldn't.

he'd never wake

and he'd let his stupid dog off the leash to run away

and get a taste of loneliness.
