Dreilide

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

blue.  a feeling. a genre of music.
       a colour
       I usually don't write in
       but this time
       the words don't come out anyway
       you broke me that well
       and I'm still bleeding
       somewhere somehow
       when I should have run
       dry a while ago.
black. the suit. the metal. that kind
       that does not reflect, but absorbs
       whatever you pour into it.
       this is where I felt at home
       for so long it's hard
       to measure in anything
       but human years.
       it's a lonely place; but whatever
       you pour into it
       resonates so well
       it bleeds will into breath
       bleeds me to life.
red.   a stop sign. a gushing stream of
       oxygenous blood. scars on your face
       and yet a sign for me to run
       no matter the risks of the road
       this is where I should be;
       in that diachromatic scenery;
       watering roses in the charcoal desert.
