"his favorite colors
were black and green."

green.
the colour of the poison
that flows through me,
killing me slowly, excuriatingly.
the poison
called grief.
the poison that your death applied to my heart.

black.
the color of a wilted rose,
after it's lost all it's radiance
to the horrors of life.
black.
the color of
my soul.
black.
was what my world became,
the day you took your last breath.
black.
the color of death,
the blissful oblivion
that so many fear
and yet so many
yearn for.
