black is not a color
he said
and on the dusty
summer nights
i'd taste his blood
red is not a color
he said
i want to die
silver is a color
he said
the color of death
i want to die
and the secrets
locked inside of him
were released
and every night i took
a secret away from him
i was taking
his soul and he loved it
he wanted to die
blue is not a color
he said
though the tears i say
were blue
blue and violet
and the colors
of the earth
for this was the moon
and i wanted it
all for myself
he was better than me
and he knew it
i couldn't stand that
and so i killed him slowly
and when we danced
i would cry on his shoulder
knowing, soon, he'd be dead
for i would leave him
and he'd turn every color
black
red
blue
and gray
and finally i would cry again
at his funeral, fake tears
silver is not a color
my friend

life may just take a while but i guess heaven's worth the wait

Beautiful, yet Heartwrenching...Enjoyed this ~Rayne

For in much wisdom is much grief
& he who increases knowledge
    increases sorrow...

I told you i liked this, but the whole poem felt incomplete without a reply from me!!! lol
I think I may add this to my library too.
lol

I'm gonna have to clean my PL out!

Thanks for posting.
