COLOUR FADES
if you move out
can you paint the cracks in the wall
… before you leave?
the paint’s already
—————-peeling
i’m wrapped up in feelings
in the comforter on your side ——of the arctic
we’ve lost our logic
colour fades
we still speak the same way
i don’t know
where i’m going
but i’ve followed you for
————-miles
down
——these supermarket
——————–aisles
i’ll never find what i need
i’m sorry
colour fades
i think we should change
your mail is piling up on the sofa
i thought you were listening
when i told you to
redirect your letters
eventually you’ll accept it
You
don’t
live
here
anymore.
colour fades
i guess people
————–change
