What is your favourite colour!
Saheir Shivkar 2003 (Mumbai)
"You are a liar, I hate you! You worthless piece of shit" she screams.
Failing to understand the concept of 'there's more to this than meets the eye' and everything she said a stranger would definitely deny...
.
.
I realize oh my veins appear purple and purple is a colour of forgiveness...
So I forgive!
.
.
I know her heart bleeds more than it beats,
and her favorite colour is black,
but black is the colour of grief,
maybe grief is all she knows...
So I forgive!
.
.
In anxiety she bites her lips,
sometimes a little hard; it bleeds,
Oh dear lord I thought red was love,
but she bleeds and it tastes like anguish...
So I forgive!
.
.
Staring at a reflection that I usually hate more often than I love...
I look at those chestnut brown eyes
that seem crying for help...
So I forgive!
.
.
And deep down I be(lie)ve,
everything she said a stranger would deny... Maybe!
Hello! *waving a hand in front of my eyes* you seem lost he said.
"I'm sorry! I zoned out, what was your question again?"
"No problem! Your favourite colour" he smiled.
"Well.... Black, brown, red and shades of purple it is!" I lied
