The Meaning of Light and Color

Red, all I saw was red And everything I hated about you They say that's the color of wrath But I'm not angry, I'm just bleeding Black, all I saw was black The endless void that you left in your wake They say that's just empty space But I'm not empty I'm just shallow You were golden, the rising sun You bathed me in colors so bright You were silver and crystalline You shattered in my trembling hands White, all I saw was white The purgatory that I built for us They say that's the color of light But I'm not lucent, I'm a mirror You were golden, the rising sun You bathed me in colors so bright You were silver and crystalline You shattered in my trembling hands You are a beacon glowing in the night Everything I love about the light You are a lantern burning in the dark Everything I love about the fire You were golden, the rising sun You bathed me in colors so bright You were silver and crystalline You shattered in my trembling hands You were crimson, a sacred fire You kissed me with embers and ash You were endless, a blinding white You drowned me in your burning light
