The Color of My Hearts Blood

“THE COLOR OF MY HEART’S BLOOD”



somewhere over the rainbow
skies are blue.

since you’ve been gone
the color of a forgotten
love stays inside the lines

and it isn’t blue.

I’ll run my fingers through
your hair again,
we will laugh again,
we will cry again,
we will love again.

…but until that day,

bandanas will tighten on arms,
alcohol will alter love,
dirty kittens will consume
dirty kittens,
murderers who murder everything 
we are, will continue to murder us,

all while you continue to 
love me with no love at all.
