Red


The color of blood

The color of love, 

A sign of great brutality,

Yet that of significant admiration

Controversy, a two-faced color it is,

Symbolizing fondness, devotion, and passion

But also anguish, distress, and torment

 

When you're in love, everything is red hearts and red roses 

But once that's all gone, in your most mundane moments,

The memories of what once was will

Will come back to you,

Not only the good but the bad as well,

Everything that ever was or ever could've been

Will come back to you  in bright, burning Red
