Love Poem: Red Questions

Red Questions

RED crushed berries on your lips
RED the dawn must rise
RED questions on your fingertips
  corrupted by my lies

BLUE I cannot love you both the same
BLUE like consolation's shame
BLUE conscience is my name
  and so I realize

BLACK can't go and tell the truth
BLACK can't let love fade
BLACK old love calls from my youth
  and new love haunts the shade

Obsession rears  its burning brow
I choose you both for then and now
release me for I don't know how,
the choice cannot be made.
