green

Poem

green means something different to me now. i’m not going to be dramatic this time and say you’ve ruined the color for me. because i cant own a color. because it wasn’t like you took the color and made it yours. the color took you and made you part of the rest. vegetables, the trees, frogs, the color of my eyes, jealousy. its all you now.

and you haven’t ruined it. but you’ve made it difficult because i love these things. i loved you because i loved these things and you are one of them. i loved you because you loved these things and they loved you back.

i cant keep you from the trees.

i cant keep you from jealousy.

i can only keep myself away

in a salty sea of blues.

like the color of your eyes.

like the color of most my material possessions.

green and blue are great on their own.

green and blue go really well together.

sometimes i have trouble telling them apart.

but i really don’t know how i feel about teal.
