Cut me a red thread

Like the Chinese belief it will connect us.

 

Cut me an orange thread

To illustrate the bursts of love I first felt for you.

 

Cut me a yellow thread

Because I hate the color but you are my Sun.

 

Cut me a green thread

So the Earth will remind me to breathe when you first kiss me.

 

Cut me a blue thread

I want to get lost in with you like the vast blue sky.

 

Cut me an indigo thread

To remember how for so long I didn't know you existed.

 

Cut me a purple thread

As my favorite color and the blood of two Queens.

 

Cut me a white thread

Then burn it black for all the sin

I committed when I learned

How to love you.
