A Greek Tragedy

Purple, purple, purple
Everything is purple
The flowers, his hair
The clothes he wore in my memories

Yellow, yellow, yellow
Or rather gold
He shone like gold
Even when it twas I who lit the sky

Gray, gray, gray
Colors the day
He had lived gloriously
But now he is gone, leaving me alone and dull

Black, black, black
Black with anger
Black with rage
Black is the sky because I am not okay
