Johnny O'Sullivan (Guest Writer)
Colours
people reveal their identity,
their names, personality,
but some people are fake,
you was an angel, but somehow turned into satan,
your eyes went from blue to red,
you went from good to bad,
some people love,
others hate,
some people are quiet,
but you was loud,
happy, and above all caring,
but that hate bottled up,
all that love was turned to evil,
your heart turned to stone,
i tried and tried to keep you,
but i went from caring to rejected,
i went from loving you to not knowing you,
you revealed yourself,
my love was crushed,
my heart was torn in two,
you was the other half,
the one that escaped my body,
red blood turned into grey stone,
my eyes went from blue to red,
i guess you turned me to the hating side,
i guess we were never the same,
you made me the same then crushed me,
i guess...
you showed me your true colours.
