Her desire was
painted green.
The same
colour of her pills
and
the gemstone
she was named after,
his eyes
or
the light at
the end of the dock–
it was an unattainable colour
for an unattainable love.
The moss grew thick
and impenetrable
across her heart as
thorned vines shot out
from her limbs and
a sickening chlorophyll
poured into her veins.
–And, at that moment, the Purple Girl turned green
But the colour green
has no place
in the life of a
Girl with a Purple Soul,
for nothing beautiful has
ever come from mixing
the two colours together–
all you get is an awful
brown.
A terrible, murky brown.
–Her lungs had filled with swamp water
It was a love–
a longing–
that bloomed within her every spring
only to die come Autumn.
It was something that was
never meant
to last.
— Green turned grey
From the moment I
began chasing the green light–
from the moment I fell in love–
I started turning blue.
–You took my breath away (and I don't mean that as a compliment).
And because of you,
I know that each new love
that comes my way
will always hurt a little
more than the last–
a little more than the
one that came before it.
I should have stuck with purple.
She stood in front of
the bay window
in nothing but an old
t-shirt and her underwear.
She sipped from
the bottle of wine in her hands
as she stared up at the
emerald lights waltzing across
the black sky.
“Goodbye, my love,”
she whispered.
–Aurora Borealis
It was in her blood
to chase after things
that were faster than her–
things she was never
meant to have,
things that she was never
meant to hold.
–I was Gatsby, and he was my green light
I thought you were the one thing
I had to live for.
Little did I know that you would be
the very thing that killed me in the end.
--Foolish girl
Oh, purple boy, I know you’re
out there somewhere.
Won’t you come and find me?
Won’t you come and save me from the green,
from this curse The Great Gatsby has
bestowed upon me?
–Please?
