Colors

Why did you take the easy road?
Anyone can smile and laugh!
When I was strong and happy,
we walked the same path.
But when I was fed up and unhappy,
you were nowhere to be found
I braved the fight scared and alone
even faced the final round...
You criticized my sight
You made me lose my ground!
You blamed me for giving up
and not hanging in there until the end
So you wanted me to stay miserable and lost?
NO! Staying would mean giving in...
And on my deathbed looking back...
No family, no support...just a few friends
Begging to erase my mistakes
Dying painfully among my sins.
And so I made my choice...
I chose red instead of blue
In poetry that simply means
I chose him not you...
Red for the infinite passion
I felt to live my life
Red for the missing kiss
while staring deep into his eyes
Looking straight into my soul
finding me whole again
Red for my determination
to change the future end...
Blue I firmly denied -
no sadness, secrets or pain!
Those two colors I fought against
invisible, divisible shades
Red is the color I chose to follow
When everyone walked away.
But sadness is the color of my tears tonight
mixed with the blood from our bitter fight.
