Color of Deception

Color of deception,
want of despair,
grief stricken
heart laden,
I knock on your door.

Heartache wanting,
a cry for love,
lusting for your touch
searching for a sign
standing in your doorway
broken heart lying on the ground.

Tears pouring down
tell me you don’t want me
tell me you don’t need me.
Color of deception
creeps across your face:
fever written in your brow,
want etched in your face,
need echoed in your voice
heartache crying out to you.

One foot inside your door,
soft touch sends sparks flying
you try to disguise, but
the color of your deception
is clear as water,
clear as the heartache
I see in your face.

All the lies and disguises-
fears covering the aches
all colors of deception
written on your face.
