Losing My Colors

My broken soul  
Lost its colors  
Each sliding  
Down my face  
   
One  
By  
One  
   
My red bloodied    
Fingers shakily  
Picking up  
My tear-stained  
Heart  
   
My orange sun  
Happiness  
Becoming    
A distant memory  
   
My yellow sunflower  
Dreams no longer  
Reaching for    
The sky    
   
My emerald eyes  
Becoming clouded  
With resigned
Tears
   
No longer  
Anyone’s  
Blue jean baby  
I became    
Unrecognizable  
To myself  
   
While my
Violet-bruised  
Self-worth  
Slowly withered  
In the wind…  
   
A river    
Doesn’t  
Flow backwards    
   
And a soul  
Only knows    
How to break one  
Way  
   
Shattered  
   
Into a    
Million  
Tiny  
Shards
