The Colors of Goodbye

Blue water falls soft
From the clouded sky
Blue tears drip slow
From her sad green eyes
In unison, weather and tears
Together they drop
Hearts broken apart
By something that was lost

Purple night has come again
The sun set in quiet slumber
Purple pillows catch the tears
That have dropped from her chin
The only comfort from the pain
Is the patched quilt on the bed
And the pillow that she clutches
Holding on tight, a desperate hug

Green eyes stare blank
Trying to forget she said goodbye
Green, the color of the dress
She had worn the night
When she first was told
Of the love once felt for her
No longer will she hear
Those words whispered in her ear

Red numbers of the alarm clock
Flash from power that was lost
Red wine still sits in glasses
For she doesn’t have the heart
To remove the evidence
Of their last night together
Leaving them as a reminder
That it wasn’t always this way

Brown hair hasn’t been brushed
With no reason to make an effort
Brown leaves fall from the plant
That had once been cared for
Now without water
It slowly dies away
Without her there is no desire
To keep their love plant alive

Pink flowers wilted
The last gift she had given
Pink wrapping a simple thought
That she had been thinking of her
Wanting to surprise and maybe
Just maybe bring back the fire
That was lost but alas
It was of no help

Orange sun soon to rise again
No sleep to be found
Orange fruits sitting on the counter
A breakfast that won’t be eaten
Little desire to eat still
For she has too much on her mind
Thinking of the pain
When she was told goodbye

Yellow shower curtain
Hasn’t moved in days
Yellow lights kept off in that room
The concept of hygiene
Becoming foreign to the mind
Of someone not caring anymore
Eventually effort will be made
But for now it is pushed aside

Black shadows cloud
A once optimistic personality
Black surroundings
The shades have been closed
Sunlight not allowed in
For it is a reminder
That life has continued on
Leaving her alone, hidden

White hope at last in sight
A small droplet to grab on to
White lies add a little comfort
To the situation
Even though the pain might last
It is not for eternity
Soon she will be able to
Say the words of Goodbye
