All My Colours

Green was the time I went to the bar and met her by the dancefloor

Taking in all the lights

And in all my time

I had felt nothing but pure happiness

Yellow was the colour she embodied

As she stared at me from across the room holding a beer

Enraptured by her smile

Blue was the feeling I felt

After six weeks of dating, and learning that she was leaving me for someone else

Red was the colour of my anger

Like scarlet fever;

When I took her back a second time

And the betrayal was more severe;

So much more intense

Black, the colour of emptiness and hollowness, was the feeling I felt

After we ended

After three painful years

Three years, one month and seven days

And I am tickled pink

I am liberated

For I have found my one true love.
