Red.
It's the color of roses and love.
Red.
It's the color your face turns
when you cry and cry.
Red.
It's the color of desire and romance.
Red.
It's the color your wrists' are stained with sadness.
Red.
It's a color of betrayal and
forbidden love.
Red.
It's the final color you see...
Especially if you're anything like me.

The author's comments:
This poem was written for my best friend who just passed away. And I want her to know that I'm sorry that I wasn't here for you when you needed me. Her favorite color was red...and that was literally the last thing she saw when she died.
