Yellow is the New Red
Dreary aches
Bleed from the same Red
That have given me life
As it fulfil my needs
To live and be loved
All at the same light
Yet you shattered me to pieces
With your deceitful lies
How can I smile?
When you bore me pain
How can i feel?
When you drive me insane
How can i find peace?
When you are the turmoil within my reach
How can i love?
When hate becomes a parody of it
Like a filthy persistent mist
I anchor myself in hue
A burst of bright yellow
To brace myself anew
A sunny feel and joyous stint
For everyone i know
Because love could grow too
From amongst friends who cherish you.

I found the closing stanza particularly interesting, the syllabic harmonies, the sense of emotions, but the whole is truly lovely and interesting to contemplate.
