Rainbows need the sun and the rain

I like the colour red.

The colour of passion and love.

The colour of the dress you'd wear,

When I made you wait too long.


I like the colour orange.

The colour of optimism and confidence.

The colour of the food we would binge, 

After baking it together, ignoring the pile of dishes to rinse.


I like the colour yellow.

The colour of joy and hope.

The colour of the light in the meadow,

Where I had taken you, so I could propose.


I like the colour green.

The colour of new-beginnings and growth.

The colour of the herbs you vowed to glean,

When I was injured, saving you from harm at our wedding.


I like the colour blue.

The colour of peace and tranquility.

The colour of the the night sky when I watched you,

Adoring the moonlight and sitting on the balcony.


I like the colour violet.

The colour of grace and beauty.

The colour of the bouquet I bought,

To celebrate our anniversary.


I hate the colours around me.

I can't look up and smile at a rainbow.

Because my sun has left me.

And now I'm just rain and clouds.
