i am a rainbow.
red like my blood, your blood
even though my heart may be ivory and steel ( oblivious to love itself or the mere concept of pouring yourself into someone that isn't your to keep )
i can't stop the scarlet fire flowing through my veins
and my cheeks are crimson when i think of you
of you on me, in me
orange like the sunset we watched together
you tracing delicate circles on my palm
you will be safe here with me, my darling
if only that was so
for that evening has desaturated, withered
yellow like sunlight
the way it caught the soft hazelnut of your hair
i caught it in my palms that day
it was your sunlight, my sunlight, our sunlight
because then we would always have the warmth of each other to keep us company
green like your eyes
they told me stories that died on your lips
a maze i would be happy to get lost in
now your gaze rests on another
and i sit and long for the emeralds that nestled themselves in your corneas
blue like the ocean
i could drown myself in you
sink deeper and deeper until
my skin, my bones, me and everything that i am or want to be
fades into a cerulean dream
i am a rainbow but when you left the world turned grey
oh, why does it always have to be you?
