The Spectrum of Love

The Spectrum of Love 

by Blair Colbert

Our love was a rainbow - It grew and it grew

We connected and created feelings anew.

First I was purple from the mystery and wonder

You seemed so royal and then I fell under

Your spell turned me pink and I knew had a crush

Then came the love and we got past the mush

Into yellow, we were cautious, yet happy and bright

Optimistic as we stayed up and talked the whole night

I faded to orange from the warmth of the fire

We were healthy, and excited, we finally rose higher

Into blue, full of trust, so peaceful and calm

I was loyal to you until someone dropped the bomb

That you cheated - turned me green, filled with disgust

The jealousy I felt forced me to adjust

Into red from the anger, the passion, and pain

I felt every time I heard that man's name.

I was thrown into black, Overcome with grief

The pain so was bad- but then my belief

In myself turned me white - pure, fresh, and new

Cleansed of the rainbow that died once it grew
