You Broke My Rainbow
You came with light in stormless eyes,
A whisper sweet, a veil of lies.
I built a bridge from dusk to dawn,
Believed in color, then it was gone.
Red for the fire I thought was love,
Orange for warmth I dreamed enough.
Yellow for laughter you never meant,
Green for hope—now crooked, bent.
Blue was the calm you stole from me,
Indigo drowned in your apathy.
Violet died on a sharpened word,
The last I spoke, the last you heard.
You cracked the sky and let it bleed,
Stripped my prism down to need.
Now all I see is black and grey.
You broke my rainbow.
You walked away.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
