Teach me

How to rip out those red feelings that sank too deep in my heart.

How to remove the yellow lonliness that surrounded my soul.

Teach me

How do you erase the blue moments that felt like eternity.

How to forget the orange memories that dived in my mind.

Teach me

How to separate the grey ugliness and the purple beauty that mixed in one face.

Teach me

How to bring the pink happines that ran away back inside.

How to blow the black sadness that flew in outside.

Teach me

How to find a brown wooden home I never had.

Teach me

How to dream of the white peace.

How to wake up from the dark war.

Teach me

How to accept the sweetened words.

How to treat the salty wounds.

How to swallow the sour pride.

How to look at the bitter scars.

Teach me

How to dance with with the shining stars.

How to grasp the sun's warmth.

Teach me

How to be free in the nights.

How to let loose in the lights.

Teach me

How to melt the stones in people's chests.

How to freez what's leaking into a painting.

Teach me, how to colour my heart.

But even if you teach me, will I really learn? How to kill the hate and love in me for you?
