Colours Drain Away

Inspired by the heartbreaking moments of profound loss. There are no words when a woman miscarries. It cannot be described as a "loss". It is a death that affects a woman far beyond that experience. My heart goes out with love and light to you and yours. May the colours come back in time. Colours drain away By Michelle Morris 17/05/2023 Red is the signal Pain is the chaser You know it's over But you get the hospital to confirm Red of blood Of rage and frustration Red of death and loss And cell destruction Blue is the mood It descends so quickly Lying there in the aftermath Of all that could've been Blue is the heart As it turns cold and alone That tiny essence Is forever gone; forever gone Yellow is the sun It represents our hope We live because she gives warmth She gives life on Earth Yellow is the possibility The power in our bodies We live and learn and grow We become stronger with perseverance Primary colours That create all the others And inspire our love Our lives, our souls Primary colours We need them every day They touch us all Paint our memories vividly and well The colours drain away Inside your heart and soul Your mind is grey Not even black and white will do The colours drain away While outside the rainbow shines Through all the raincloud mist The world goes on, even if we don't May you find peace one day May you be healed in every way May the rainbows shine for you And bring colours back to your world May your heart beat red again May the blue shine in your eyes May the yellow of your halo glow Remind you of your angelic vibes © Michelle Morris, 2023
