The Chaos

Colors

Scarlet was the single rose he shyly offered to me.

Emerald were his bright eyes, full of hope and kindness.

Rose was the blush hinting at my cheeks.

Lavender was the dress I wore as he twirled me around the next day.

Azure was the sky, as years later, he knelt on one knee.

Silver was the ring that he slipped onto my fourth finger.

He brought color into my colorless life;

But jet black is my heart...

Red was my fury at a stupid little thing,

Blue were his tears as they streamed down his face

Grey was the storm that consumed the sunlight.

Indigo was my guilt as I watched him walk away.

Brown are the petals of that rose he first gave me.

Blank is the empty space beside me.

Blank and white is what my life has returned to.
