Roses are Red...

I see purple

Roses are red 

Violets are blue? 

Last time I looked they looked a little purple

Maybe that’s why we don’t understand love

Because even in the most cliche poem about expressing our love we are color blind.

Roses are red

Violets are violet

My heart beats for you and it wont stay quiet…its violent

And my roses bled for you

As my violets bled a shade of blue

Roses are red

Chaos they can bloom 

They lay upon graves of unruly tombs

And my heart is a riot

Crashing the party between the crimson and violet

But they never hear the break…our heart breaks so silent…to them

But roses are still red

And violets are blue?

I may not understand this...

This perception askew

But I think violets are purple, and they just bleed the blues.

Haunting, beautiful, a thoughtful view on a tragic and fundamental misunderstanding we have of love . I can't quote the parts I loved the most because I would just have to copy and paste the whole thing.

LOVE. IT. SHELVED IT. NOT EVEN GOING TO DISGRACE IT WITH A SHALLOW ATTEMPT OF A REVIEW ;)

"Crashing the party between the crimson and violet." That line is my favorite. If love was awesome, everyone would stay together, sadly, the world sucks and we get stabbed in the heart as it continues to rub salt in the wound. Great poem. Awesomely poetic.

' And my heart is a riot ~ Crashing the party between the crimson and violet ~ But they never hear the break…our heart breaks so silent…to them '

Tis an outpouring of sadness and bewilderment, all wrapped in a colour blindness that reaches really deeply. Such sensitive near fragile words, yet with amazing clarity and depth.
