R is for Red

A color so deadly

What a medley

Of self-hatred and filthy

Love

A color so calling

Telling me 

I'm ready

For Love

A color so prominent

Shines brightest

When doused in a bucket of

Love

But a color so hidden

I call for it daily

With sharp metal edges

And with smooth pink ledges

Of my erasers

This form isn't

What I'd call love

It just isn't

What I'd call fun

But it's still is as Red 

As what I'd call Love
