Teal(Emotional Scarring for Fun and Profit)

Teal, the color of sophistication, calm, and whatnot.

This is going to haunt me

Is this your idea of fun?

I close my eyes and look away

We are going to hell for this

Out in the middle of nowhere

We get out the heavy sticks

A sickening crack fills the air

The deed's been done

Medium teal lies broken in the field

That cold,smooth shell is cracking apart

I don't think that I can stand the guilt

It's so painful, like a knife in my heart

I lay awake in bed all night

Think I heard a noise

Climbing upon the stair

A glimpse of jagged fragments

And a sudden chill in the air

Medium teal lies broken in the field

That cold,smooth shell is cracking apart

I don't think I can stand the guilt

It's so painful, like a knife in my heart

Bless me, father

For I have sinned

I've done something terribly wrong

It hurts just to take a look at myself

Oh, Why did I even go along?

Medium Teal lies broken in the field

That cold,smooth shell is cracking apart

I don't think I can stand the guilt

It's so painful like a knife in my heart

hmm.... I guess it's the opposite of calm and sophistication. Colors are what you do with them. Just like a poem is what you interpret of them. This one doesn't rhyme like the others, I'm thinking with the deliberate use of color in your presentations, that a deliberate rhyme style fits as well. Just a suggestion for an over all effect to like a book of these poems.
