tw: abusive relationship, abused

purple, blue and black
it's all I see
it's all that consumes me
those familiar colours
etching every part
of this
torn dress
of flesh I wear

purple, blue and black
the only feeling
reminding me
of my existence
and that
that the thread
that my life hangs by
remains
my shattered heart
violently thrashing against
the howling and whispering
bone chilling winds

purple, blue and black
the colours
that once made me
happy
twisting into
the thing
that took the life
out of my eyes
