you were a rainbow

now everything is gray,

and i feel blue.

red the color of passion

i haven’t felt it since i’ve been with you.

red the color of my heart,

but it’s slowly turning to stone.

orange the color of happiness.

you were my happy place

but someone trespassed and

now it’s destroyed.

yellow the color of sunshine,

which is what you were to me.

my sunshine.

now it’s raining

and the clouds won’t pass.

i see green everywhere

and it reminds me of your eyes

the only ones i liked being watched by,

the only ones i felt safe with.

blue the color of how i feel

sadness, heartbreak, and numb.

blue the color of the water i’m drowning in

i keep sinking, i forgot how to swim.

purple my color of hope,

hope that you come back to me

someday, somehow

because you belong with me.

and i with you.

you were a rainbow. 

now everything is gray. 

and i feel blue. 

i’m still waiting for the clouds to pass.
