Rainbow Baby

That girl with the golden smile

Ain’t so pearly white;

I’ve seen her cry her silver tears,

Sacrifice ‘til black and blue.

Red blood shot eyes

And thoughts of grey

In ultra-violet spectrums,

We can’t see but know are there;

Indigo’s a myth that we hold onto.

I’ve seen the rainbow’s spectrum lie,

Or maybe it has always told the truth

And we’re too blind, too quick

To get the bigger picture.

Something in the arch is lost

In the horizon’s translation;

Blue trails off to meet
The hardened smile of a girl.
