Red
The color of deception and lies.
Red
The sound of my cries.
Red is the color of your shirt.
It’s the color of cheating and blood.
Cherries and strawberries
The feel of tears coming in a flood.
Red reminds me of many things.
But mostly it brings to my mind pain.
Red is a deathly color
It’s the color of being vain.
Red lips
That touch and smother
Every other sound
You make with another.
Red noses in the middle of winter
Red tongues that speak the lies.
Red blankets to keep me warm.
Red pillows to smother my cries.
Red
The color of love and desire.
Red
The color of burning fire.
Red
It reminds me of you.
Red
A reminder to what we used to do.
