Colored Purple

Memories and emotions and tears...all colored purple.

Purple skies we had looked upon
Early the morning after sneaking out in silent darkness
I was in your arms
And for the first time we talked about our world together

Purple bruises on my lower stomach
Ones you kissed and tried to soothe
But never asked how they got there
I think you already knew

Purple was the shirt you wore
The day you smiled a sad smile
Hugged me differently and closed your eyes
I knew something was wrong by then

Purple blankets I now hide underneath
For I lie with heavy eyes and a missing half
Awaiting the day
When you come home again
