Red

Have you ever seen such a color?

The color of love,

Of passion,

Of desire,

It is the color of transport,

Transport to happy places that once were,

To places yet to come,

To memories of dreams.

And yet is it a sad color.

The color of rejection,

Of depression,

Of blood.

It is the color of the roses he gave me after the first date,

It is the color that seeps from the welts on my wrists.

Have you ever seen such a color?

One with such mixed feelings.

It is the color that fills my mind when I think of old flames,

It is the color of the disease that pumps through my veins.
