A Perfect Hue
What is the color of your heart?
Do you bleed blue
Or tangerine?
Red requires oxygen;
Bullies sometimes wear red dresses;
Not because their heart bleeds true;
Because they can;
Thank you mam;
A heart that's blue,
Does it too,
Bleed blue,
Through and through?
Does it heal
Or never can?
Sorry mam;
Can I fix it;
Your broken heart?
Can I fill it
With love and joy?
Can I mam
If I can?
Is a mean heart green?
Has it seen tangerine?
Or does it choose
To be that way;
If just for jealousy?
Do we get to pick the hue;
By what we say and what we do?
Can I choose tangerine?
Can I change it
If I please?
Who will know if I do;
If I change the hue;
And change it azure blue?
If my choice is tangerine,
Will it be as sweet;
When you rip it
From within;
And dump it in
A glass of gin? ... then
What is the color of your heart?
