The Color of the Devil
Tea reeking, rose stained lips
On her throne she sits
Like an executioner, she gives orders
All in the name of love
Eyes, blue, burning with her wrath
Smiling like a heavenly host
Counting every hour until her rapture
She's gonna resurrect me
Hair, blonde, white like snow
And colder than her ever beating heart
That voice, angelic, sweet
Her accent fills the room
It pollutes the air, toxic to breathe
She's suffocating me
Look beyond her elegance
There's horns beneath platinum strands
Her claws kept sharp and painted red
Her ego kept safe behind the fabric of her blazer
Her identity hidden in a lie
Her colors start to show
Erupting into a sinful palette
Splattering on every untainted thing
Her ink is stained on me
No soap can scrub it clean
She cannot wipe away her evil nature
This is how her tint will be
She never looked this way to us
Justice healed our colorblindness
Don't judge an angel by their halo
She's the color of the devil
To the woman who took advantage of me, karma will have her way
On her throne she sits
Like an executioner, she gives orders
All in the name of love
Eyes, blue, burning with her wrath
Smiling like a heavenly host
Counting every hour until her rapture
She's gonna resurrect me
Hair, blonde, white like snow
And colder than her ever beating heart
That voice, angelic, sweet
Her accent fills the room
It pollutes the air, toxic to breathe
She's suffocating me
Look beyond her elegance
There's horns beneath platinum strands
Her claws kept sharp and painted red
Her ego kept safe behind the fabric of her blazer
Her identity hidden in a lie
Her colors start to show
Erupting into a sinful palette
Splattering on every untainted thing
Her ink is stained on me
No soap can scrub it clean
She cannot wipe away her evil nature
This is how her tint will be
She never looked this way to us
Justice healed our colorblindness
Don't judge an angel by their halo
She's the color of the devil
To the woman who took advantage of me, karma will have her way

I typically write and then come up with a title, but this poem was the opposite, took me by surprise and had to write! I'm glad the tension was felt, I certainly felt it while writing. I am deeply flattered by your compliment Stillborn! Thank you for taking the time to read

It was hard to post this one given it's closeness to my heart, but I'm glad I did, as a declaration to move on from pain. It is very motivating to see your support in it, and as always, thank you for your kind words!
