Red By Valeria Vance Ahh red, my favorite color The color of my bows on the first day of kindergarten The color of my favorite candy The color of the dress I wore to the 9th grade dance The color I was wearing when I met him Red The color of the flowers he got me on our first date The color of the bear he got me on our second The color of the car he picked me up in on our third The color of my face when he hit me for the first time The color of his fist after he said he wouldn’t do it again And then he did it again Red The color of the lights I saw flash outside my house The color of the pen when I signed the restraining order The color he saw when I put him behind bars The color I see when I think of all the pain he put me through I don’t think I like the color red anymore
