The Color Red

It is your cheeks after playing in the snow

It's when your hand grazes mine

It's the color of my jacket that you cuddle up in

It's the color of your voice when you tell me you love me

The roses I give to you because they make me think of you

The color of your blood when the thorns prick your hands

It is hotter than the flame that once burned in your eyes

It is when you look in the mirror after crying

Your tear soaked lashes struggling to open

It's the color when I look into your eyes and I can only see pain

It's the color I can't bare to be without

The color of rage in your eyes as we scream at each other

The color of you walking away after a fight

The color I can't see when you’re gone.
