I thought you loved me

                                           

You told me

your favorite colors

were red and purple

so i dressed in those colors

my dresses carried red ribbons

and my eyeshadow glistened in purple

but you began to use me as your canvas

you'd leave purple marks onmy skin

and sometimes when you were livid

you'd vibrate red

and red would trickle down my lips

but i knew you loved me

so i let you use me as your canvas

and then one day

i lay on the floor

in a pool of red

and you began to laugh

oh

you're running

why are you running

my chest is hurting

i thought you loved red

i thought you loved me

your favorite colors

were red and purple
