How to have your heart broken.
Date someone who is depressed.
Fall utterly head over heals with them.
Love every part of their being.
Feel as though you are drowning in this love.
When you realise that if they don't want to be saved from themselves, your heart will break,
when you realise that they don't see what you see.
What you see is all the colours when you look at this person.
You see bright pinks when your heart flutters whenever you make them laugh.
You see blue when you're in that calm state with them, watching a movie or sleeping. Peace.
You see purple everytime you tell them how beautiful they are and they wear that embarrassing smile you love so much.
Orange when you wake up in the morning sunlight and they're the first thing on your mind or even better, the first thing you see laying next to you.
And red. Red. Red is what you see when they're angry at you. When they believe that everything you've ever said was a lie, even though that could not be more wrong. Red is the colour of their wrists. Red is the colour of their lips after biting down on them too harshly. Red is the colour of their eyes after they cry.
And finally black. Black is the worst to see because this is when your heart truly breaks. Black is the colour you see when they no longer allow you to help them. Black is all you see when all you can do is stand and watch the person you love fall apart because they won't let you help.
