i do not rise at the crack of dawn

i'm honestly barely up before noon

so when you say i remind you of yellow

it reminds me i'm not cold


most days i wake up feeling blue

i spend my days looking green

so when you say i remind you of the color yellow

i do not know what you mean


when you kiss me, i turn bright pink

and my eyes light up whenever you speak

so when you say i remind you of yellow

i do not dare disagree


i don't want to burn you, so don't come too close

you won't understand that out here is rainy

because inside there, it is calm


do not say i remind you of the sun

i'd much rather be the breeze

cause when you say i remind you of the color yellow

it does not make me feel seen


i should like to be a bright color

and despise the grays

but when you say i remind you of yellow

why do i feel ashamed?


i am not a ball of sunshine

i am a storm, lightning and thunder

so when you say i remind you of the color yellow

i wonder, how could you be so blind


but because it is 4 pm

and the sky is clear

i let you call me sunny.

ROSES

and now as you lay in eternal rest, i can’t help but ask myself, “was it your blood that made my roses red?”
