Gold and Blue

There once was a girl with a heart so broken
everything she touched turned blue.
She tried and tried to mend it again
but nothing she tried would do.

She took lovers, then pills
then tried her own life,
to see if she could get through,

to her little broken heart,
that was never broken from the start,
but just really loved the color blue.

One day she met a boy with a heart so broken,
everything he touched turned Gold.
They took turns seeing each other colors,
staring with wonder,
At the forbidden hue they hold.

The boy loved blue,
but when he tried to follow through,
his heart was still broken
from those
who preferred silver over gold.

So he started seeing red,
to get blue out of his head,
But no other color would do.
He tried purple and grey,
but to his dismay,
none of them were the right hue.

One day they both touched,
And blue and gold gushed
Out of the hearts broken in two.

The mess was immense,
but on that day they convinced,
Their hearts to release the gold and the blue.

Their colors seeped out
to make room, no doubt
for the light that finally healed the two.
