Colour

Surrounded by light lying low in the shade
Of a past where the shadows of fear are displayed
Unaware she's involved in the game being played
Her bruised heart is the colour of love

The last tear she felt sink at the end of his call
Pushed the rapids towards a sheer drop waterfall
Before drowning she learned how to master the crawl
Her bruised heart is the colour of love

Every now and again she'll escape the mundane
Drink and drugs tender hugs sex and unwanted pain
Shackles crash to the ground dancing free in the rain
Her bruised heart is the colour of love

She is glowing again getting ready to shine
Put herself a bit closer to front of the line
Ditched the shame she took on with her no entry sign
Her bruised heart is the colour of love

This is a delicate written piece.

It describes a gentle, caring woman in the most fragile moment of her life.

Soulful, lots of emotional depth and a pleasure to read.

The repetition works well. The colour is clearly returning to her life after a spell of living in the shade. An increase in confidence . A triumph. Nicely penned Tepo.
