The Colorful Apology.. Poem by Marcus Lomboy

I wish ~ that I could give it all away
All of these apologies ~ these clouds are turning gray
A flash of periwinkle like the twinkle in your eyes
I never meant to hurt you ~ giving you those white lies

I find it so amazing this could make me feel blue
Deep down inside like cerulean colored truth
Watching green turn sienna as the leaves start falling
When spring turned to autumn ~ I began my scrawling

Empty explanations crumpled up after the other
Or burnt in azure flames as I start to write another
Then I start to dwell upon all the times I did you wrong
I betrayed those brown eyes ‘cos you knew it all along

Every single flaw glowing neon in your mind
Which makes me wonder why ~ you agreed to be mine?
Repeatedly cried your eyes red when I hurt you
Now I shake off fuchsia butterflies to stand and face you

I wake up contemplating, glancing at the orange sun
Sepia toned memories of when you were my only one
My golden girl, the silver lining in my world
When I made you blush pink when I called you my girl

With a scent of lavender ~ I would hold you gently
My tan skinned beauty that my God had sent me
I saw you in my future just like Ultraviolet
That we would go far like Ford Focus mileage

Planned on matching purple when we went to formal
Acting like a married couple which we thought was normal
I was your prince and you were my princess
Everything was sweet like cinnamon incense

Then things got dark ~ saw in cobalt hues
So we had to sort it out we had the royal blues
So I prayed for the better with my black rosary
Hoping love was a language I’d speak fluently

The days after we broke up my eyes were swimming in tears
But I had to float tough like an aquamarine
Seeing tangerine around me helped me look to better days
‘Stead of staying stuck in mud and to better my ways

I’ll be better with my next girl ~ I wish it could be you
Re-do our relationship in any color you choose
Green apple of my eyes if we could only rewind
Flash orange sunsets as another summer passes by

Now my days seem bland ~ missing you by my side
I’m a sour loser ~ and our separation’s lime
If only I was drunk and it came with a shot
A little salt in this wound ~ now just let the crimson drop

Wish I could re-do this all with all of my devotion
I need to tear away from this prism of emotions
But it’s clear as day to me that we should be
I love you girl ~ so please color me sorry
