Tainted colors
Whisper by
Love to hold
Love to die

Tainted colors
Haunt your dreams
Love to lose
Love to find

Tainted colors
Call to the trees
Love that haunts
Love that frees

Tainted colors
From your heart
Love that lingers
Love to forge

Tainted colors
Call to me
For lovely endings
For lovely death.

&ldquo;I&#039;m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can&#039;t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don&#039;t deserve me at my best.&rdquo; -Marilyn Monroe

I loved the rhythm of it and the word choice. Very beautiful and almost haunting. Well done!
