False colors

A gradient of pain and change

The morning doesn’t sleep enough

Just like me

The sun can be golden or yellowed

Teeth carnation red by the blood of passion

And our eyes let it be

And our hearts let us see

Beyond the standing ovation.

Behind the curtain of blue silk

Lay down the demon

The angel

Who vowed to beauty and hell

Hollowed eyes and glittery soul

That all colours clash together

In harmony...

Oxymoron!

Ah! A big word

Ah! A big stroke

Paintbrush scratching the canvas

Anger can be purple and blue

When the bruises turn older

And green and pink and rainbow

Just like my heart

As much as the sun

In the meantime

Go from gold to yellow
