Winter Renders Me Colorless

Folder: 
Shorties

My entire heart implodes, again, 

in this space between space

I muffle the sounds of my tears with

a dirty sheet

only yesterday, I saw our colors entertwined together

and i took it terribly hard

And I am reeling so far from

the reality that you dont

even remember my favorite color

When you look upon it, you only see green

 

you do not see me.

Some people we love can be so selfish and taken up with themselves, it's difficult to know where to fit in with them. Your poem is very creative and a good read also well written.

I don't know how to read

I don't know how to read "green" except for from a healing perspective...which is the color of the heart chakra...the place of unconditional love. 

 

One track mind maybe.. ;-)

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Actually nightlight, in this

Actually nightlight, in this particular instance green was green... Simply the color... No underlying meaning behind it. Usually my poema do have underlying words or phrases but not this one :).
