Heather

Bright green hair, a nose piercing, and leather boots

She keeps pins on her back declaring her a superwholockian in house hufflepuff

Hair always a mess but it's never bad hair day

She looks blue — not a special shade or tone — just blue

Carefree like the sky but as deep as the ocean, maybe even as rare as a true blue flower

Electric — like neon blue but forgetful all the same

She says that all men are trash while complaining about her love life

She says everything is a societal construct while refusing her dinner

She says capitalism is a disease while dreaming of Gucci sheets and Disney movies

Her words always so pink, like they meant to be red but became muted over time

Starting off so strong, magenta, and never making the mark when someone else says it, pink,

So soft, delicate, pretty, only because her fire has been silenced with white.

Beyond that she is connected, maybe to her roots, to her home, to something I'll never know

Her mind never stops spinning and you can see it behind her eyes ... too many dreams expressed always ending with can you just be quiet?

The Universe is in her head and I think I'm the only one who knows

It's all so purple in her brain and nothing makes it go away

Her thoughts muddled never knowing what's blue right and what's red wrong.

All encompassing, silent, suffocating, it's getting hard to think.

blue, pink, purple

pink, blue purple,

purple, blue, pink

Pink, purple blue

Pink, Purple, Blue

P i n k, P u r p l e, B l u e...

I wish I could share my realization but my voice turned pink too.

I wish I could form the thoughts but my head could only think in lavender, eggplant, grape

I wish I could show her what I learned but my clothes were navy, and my face lapis

I wish I could ...

She knew.

Knew when pretty was no longer for flowers, but for girls boys. When pink became the . . . perfect shade of blush

Knew when purple was no longer for outer space, but for the space between love, like, and . . desire for women

Knew when silence was communication between us, when blue wasn't sad but our ---happiness

I think that I've gone too far

Let my thoughts roam further than they should have

Lost control of my heart.
