Mourning Colors

Mourning Colors

my hope is blue like sunlit skies
before the raging storm
as beautiful as the crimson rose
before I touched its thorn

my passion blacker than the night
it used to keep me warm
cold now like white winter ice
my tears mixed with your scorn

my shame the color of my eyes
a sad song they perform
the ballad of the times we had
a dream that left me torn

but the colors that you see
are painting my reform
for everything you took from me
I shall no longer mourn
