Colorful Death

Violent, overpowering white 
bleaches all thoughts,
Brilliant red reopens never healed 
wounds.
Pink falls into white porcelain skins 
as clear tears fall from brown eyes.

Black trails down her face as she 
stares
At the pale ghost in front of her.
Stinging blue cleans all wounds of 
pounding red,
Happiness once found in fields of 
yellow flowers
Fades as petals turn black.

Greenness decay sets in as crimson 
dries on her
Body. Skin ashen grey falls from 
fingertips.
Her body hangs, twirling from a 
brown length.
Her life written in red screams 
fromwalls of purple.
