Two bruises on each cheek
Two bruises just the same
You're a tropical flower surrounded by weeds
And yet you're shedding all your leaves
No one can compare to this angel I see
Not even heaven can equate
Watching you in distraught
It gets hard for me to stand straight
Slowly you're turning black, the color of the night sky
But for some reason I feel the night is more vividly colored than the day
Seeing you like this I can only think I'm seeing your true colors
Even if the colors you pick are darker than all the others
