color me please.

maybe a passionate red for my nails and a jealous green for a dress.

fill the blank lines and holes with intense, lustful hues

to cover up the emptiness

beneath. 

let your ink seep through the pages and turn me into something beautiful. 

i've been colored in before.

the dark and deep colors of painful memories

when I became colorblind to my own shining

gold.

i want your colors to fill me in.

i want the bright blues and yellows you wear

so faithfully to soak through the surface 

and stain my soul.

color me loved.

color me, love.
