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.
