I Know the Colour of Pain

I know the colour of pain

It is the soft shade of a heart
broken into fragments too tiny to be gathered
but yet big enough to mend when hope is discovered

It is the bright hue of an anger                                    

so fiery its expression will be a volcanic eruption
whose lava on every path spews forth destruction

I know the colour of pain                                                     

It is the metallic glint of a bitter laugh
that crackles loudly from behind a wall of tears
to hide the vale of misery at its rear

I know the colour of pain

It is the wild tone of a character
honed from a vengeful decision to be reckless
and live the rest of their life careless

I know the colour of pain

It is the dark tint of a life
tainted by betrayals and broken promises
so numerous they've left callouses

I know the colour of pain
