You Broke My Rainbow

You Broke My Rainbow

You came with light in stormless eyes,

A whisper sweet, a veil of lies.

I built a bridge from dusk to dawn,

Believed in color, then it was gone.

Red for the fire I thought was love,

Orange for warmth I dreamed enough.

Yellow for laughter you never meant,

Green for hope—now crooked, bent.

Blue was the calm you stole from me,

Indigo drowned in your apathy.

Violet died on a sharpened word,

The last I spoke, the last you heard.

You cracked the sky and let it bleed,

Stripped my prism down to need.

Now all I see is black and grey.

You broke my rainbow.

You walked away.
