What Words Speak to You

the red you hated

tw: blood, self harm

you always told me that i looked good in red

that red skin tight dress that hugged my curves

that red lipstick that you bought me that i marked you with

even the red nail polish i would occasionally do my nails with

but once you stopped caring and stopped giving me daily affirmations, that bright red that you loved, was then turned into a dark red that you hated

i honestly didn't think you'd hate it, i thought you'd enjoy it — the dark red gushing out of my very veins

you had always loved red, so why do you so suddenly hate this shade of red?

everything i had ever done was for you and only you

even what i'm doing now is for you

there was another poem on tik tok that gave me the idea for this one
