And what are the colors of a broken heart

And what are the colors?

And what are the colors of a broken heart?

the one with no hope? Broken and bruised

left to fend for itself

is it black? Does it mask itself

with the darkness it feels inside

does the good replace the bad?

Is it blue? Where the memories linger

the bruises of its struggle slowly fading

but still present?

or is it maroon? The wounds of its experience

still fresh, always bleeding

feeling it’s every hurt, with every heartbeat
