Color Blind

My first crush seemed like a box of Crayons
Hot Magenta was tugging on her nylons

She dyed her hair like the Florida Sunrise
Her Cool And Crazy words just mesmerize

Cotton Candy eye shadow with every blink
She kissed Wild Strawberry that tattooed my cheek

Her Midnight Blue eyes, that just sparkled within
That Glossy Grape dress, gripped her like sharkskin

We shared a drink, it was called Lemon Lime Zing
This long story short, Atomic Tangerine
