Trying

You tried to claim
              to explain your demons
              to me,

but all I saw was heaven in
                              your eyes.

                Despite your disposition-
           I see past a mask of red and blue
           I see yellow for
                              your fears…

Please know it’s okay
              to feel black inside
              to bring out the blue
              to let the red rest for once.

           Know that I’m not going anywhere.
                            I’m strung to you
with dirty white lace
       and aged like an antique.

                           I’m weathered a bit
              I can take it

or spare some tears.
