the color of your heart when you see her
her dress as you make a move
it’s the color of her nails as you take her hand
and the color of her lips as you lean in for a kiss
its the color of your apartment you share with her
its the color of the love you feel for her
the color of her teeth as she begins biting her lips
the color of the flowers for your two year anniversary
and the color of the man’s tie who sold you the engagement ring
the color of the car as you pull in your drive
the color of the shoes at the door of your home
the color of the desire of the man with her
the color of the breath as you can’t believe
the color of her apologies
its the color that slowly drains from your heart
and its the red lines that tore you apart
