Red Dahlia
I am the color of your life
The life that beats until your end
I am the color of their lips
That you always notice but have never felt
I am the color you turned
When they looked your direction a second time
I am the color you noticed
Painted on their nails
I am the color of their handbag
They carried on your first date
I am the color of the flower
They tucked behind your ear
I am the color of the petals
You saw as they fell softly to the earth
I am the color in the pit of your stomach
That you see when your emotions drive you
I am the color of your knuckles
After you betray your morals
I am the color that drips and drips
After they left you for a stronger soul
