Everything and What's Inbetween

Rainbow

Pink is the color that your cheeks turn when she smiles your way

But is the sadness you feel when you can't show how much you love her

For her fear of being labeled, but it's something you're willing to pay

Red is the hate that people scream from across the street

Their anger and bigotry cement them deeper in their ignorance

But is also the feeling of her lips that are so sweet

Orange is the feeling of healing as you walk hand in hand with her down the street

Barely caring who sees

You start to finally feel complete

Yellow is still feeling scared

But the fear is washed away with the heat of the sun hitting both your faces

Even though the curious or disgusted stares and glances

Green is the feeling when you see her smile so bright for somebody other than you

her laugh flutters and carries with somebody new

That makes you feel ...blue

Blue is the color of your heart

As it shatters

This is not as nice as it was at the start

Purple is the therapy you force yourself to go through

After she wove webs through your soul

You have to rip out the weeds in your heart she grew

The colors blend together

As you finally find yourself, with or without her.
