Purple Relapse

She paints everything purple when she's high
Violet clocks and lavender shelves get her by
He smiles, wishing the clock could rewind
He hates the drugs, at least he's color blind
She hates being like this
She covers her room in amethyst
She knows he sees her addiction is back
It's evident as her world is splattered in lilac

Colors of power and disempowerment; deep and wide wealth of poverty and health of disempowering wealth.
