I Love the Color Green

I love the color green 

And the emotions it makes me feel. 

The grass shards,  

The way the branches bless me by gifting me its leaves. 

The sun shines on my face as I swim through the memories of when it was light. 

I love the color green! 

She lifts me from my labyrinth and makes my vision strawberry tinted. 

She takes me to where it is not grey and depressing, 

Where the shadows feast on the body in my bed that is not mine. 

She gives and she kisses and she embraces me, with all the love she can bestow. 

She brings me back into the girl that I can finally recognize, 

Back to the water, the ground, the trees. 

I am grounded, I hope I can stay. 

Can I make time stop? Can I be here forever? 

Four months will never be enough, but even so, 

Even when she is asleep, drained from giving me her all, 

I will still love the color green 

For as long as I am here.
