Colorless Petals

All these words, bleak
Feelings of some sort
Truths; answers I seek. 
But to express my words fall short.

Tell me my love what meaning 
Do you see, if any?
In these feelings intervening.
Do I write more? How many?

Love is the reason I bled.
All for what; I did not think.
Pitch-dark petals don't bleed red
Just stains of black ink.

And when I watch the pain die.
Look back; words no longer rhyme
For a love like the blue sky
That forever changes with time.
