I Met You When Red Met Blue This work has been published in the Teen Ink monthly print magazine.

I met you
When red met blue
When Harry met Sally
Excluding the blending of primary colors
You left blue on me
As I rendered your face purple
Blue rained in my eyes
Looking at our colors clash
On my arms
Like a tiger being striped by God
With a color not his own
Like a whip we clashed and cracked
And I bled blue
I started to bleed
The day I met you
I saw red in my dreams
I saw red behind my eyes
Red was a flower in a field of flowers
Red was a volcano surrounded by volcanoes
Red was brave and funny and strong
Red had a heart, a soul, a song
Red was red until red was blue
Red was red
Until the day I met you
