Your Favorite Color

Folder: 
Dedications

I have never seen my heart

Crumble the way it has,

The way it's succumbed to

The loss of your smile.



Yet it faintly remembers the sound

Of your voice,

Or the length of your stride,

But it burns as it pumps -

That which is reminiscent of

Your favorite color.



If God is present in the wind, then

There you might be in the base of a rose.

There you might be in an infant's cheek.

Though I am not fit for the lowest of things,

I long for your love to inhabit my soul

Then it might glow darker than the angry sun.



I can't remember how you said my name

But I cringe at the sight of your favorite color

That which resides in and through my veins

And I pray that I won't bleed tonight.
