Colour Coded

Fade to White.

Red slash

Blue splash

Thoughts clash

Fists crash

A facade maintained

Gutted by fire

Desperation refrained

Poisoned desire

Black ichor

Brown liquor

Silent bicker

Plummet quicker

A mask well worn

An empty face

Her dress is torn

An endless chase

Grey eyes

Purple lies

Invisible ties

Feasting flies

The dead will walk

The skin is fresh

Their teeth can talk

The bones hold flesh

Green mind

Orange rind

Bitter kind

Helpless, blind

I will dig the grave

Doubt will take root

I’m a willing slave

They’re a stubborn shoot

Yellow sand

White brand

Broken hand

Fraying strand

Coded message goes viral

For no one to understand

You cannot predict the mind’s spiral

Its trajectory cannot be planned.

Pink lips

Clear drips

Everything slips

Repeat script

Take the pill

To replace the lost

Pain rallies still

Despite the cost

Colours blend

Shadows ascend

The world bends

This is the end.
