plum
i chose plum for her, and not just because
it’s her favorite color
there’s a reserved kind of beauty she radiates
but chooses to hide under blankets all day
how sad that she dull her violet to gray
being around her is a whirlwind of emotions
thoughtful in every way, she chooses each word that passes her purplish lips
there’s a fragile strand of words that fall, as if they’re about to collapse, like she feels at times
and those memories ache within her.. wearing black and blue on her sleeve, rather than her heart.. so damaged, so broken
beautiful still, and she must know that
plum
such an enchanting shade.. rare and royal
she fits the color, like it was created to encompass her persona
the vibrancy will come with time, when she chooses to get up
and savor the morning
rest in the evening
preserving shades, but never completely lightening those parts that remain so deeply numb
but then the color wouldn’t be plum.
