This is something I wrote a very long time ago about a marriage that has since ended. "Mood Colors" Red for the blood I cry Blue for the untouchable sky Purple for the bruises I carry Black for the hurt I bury Green for the grass that’s cut Orange for the doors I shut Yellow for the sun that goes down Gray when your around Red for the sign to stop Blue at the very top Purple at a rainbows core Black for despair no more Green for the trees that grow Orange for not feeling low Yellow for the man I marry Gray for depression I parry. |

Sy, Thank you. I wrote it about 10 yrs ago so I don't remember the meaning behind a couple of the lines. But I remember the feeling of hopelessness behind the write in its entirety. Susan |

Cpat, Took me an additional ten years to thrust. I am a slow learner! Susan |

Susan, This is an interesting write. Glad you are no longer in that situation. It captured much of an abusive relationship. Hugs, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Pat, Thank you for the response. Please note the purple for the bruises are emotional rather than physical. Susan |

I really loved this! I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |
