Colour Me Poem by Sneha Murali

Colour me beautiful, colour me wild
Colour me loved, colour me mild
Colour me red yellow green blue
Colour me a tinge, colour me hue

He said, She Bled. He lied, She cried
He said 'paint me red' She said 'colour me dead'
He sped, she pled. He washed colours with hate instead
Colour me simple, colour me plain, colour me before I'm erased again

Rubbed, dubbed, snubbed and scrubbed
Outline me before love fills me up
Before pain is painted on my canvas
Before hurt is stained on my facade

Colour me strong, colour me long
Colour me temper, colour me wrong
He cant be; He wont be my dismay
Broken brush and bristles, faded away

Colour me beautiful, not just beautiful
But lovely, pretty, nitty, gritty, graceful
Colour me rainbow, colour me trance
Colour me just one, just one more chance
