Pink Feels

30 January 2022

pink hair flows 
and pink lights flash 
a nauseating combination
like some say we were. 

never should have been
never should be 
never will be 
it is too late for semantics
emtionless at best

soft glow on your face
it was inevitable 
hands drum against the sticky bar 
a phantom plucking at my
heartstrings.

blood caked up under 
its fingernails 
can't pick it off 

at least when it washes 
away
there is a small comfort 
swirling down the drain
that it's pink.

if I had to place a color 
it simply wouldn't be
I felt pink with you.
