Favorite Quote:
This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper. -T.S Eliot


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
