How can such a dark shade of brown disappear so easily?
How can it vanish from my everyday routine so quickly?
Without a trace, like magic like it was never even there..
And if IT was never there then how can IT sting so badly like a fresh cut under water?
How could such a dark shade of brown turn into such a vivid shade of red?
So vivid it stains everything, and leaves marks demanding to be acknowledged.
It leaves marks remembering you not to forget it.
Marks that demand a place in your house in your home. Making it his own lil cowsy cabin. Lightning a fireplace and everything.
So youre polite and let them stay cause what are you supposed to do? Throw them out on the streets?
And once they move out you are happier than ever; you start celebrating and going out.
But everyonce in a while that vivid red comes back for a visit and it barges in like its his house, amd it makes itself at home.
So you politely ask it to leave just like that aunt at family reunions that is the last to go, well vivid red is just like that. It says it'll leave but it takes its time
And after a few days of vivid reds visit you start to give up and let it be.  So you let it stain everything and you eventually learn how to cover the vivid red stains
