ANNABELLE SCHMITT: PENN STATE UNIVERSITY BUREAU CHIEF
Color me sad
When you look at me
But through me.
Color me sad
When I look for you
And you look away.
Color me sad
When you are not here
And no one can take your place.
Color me sad
When I cannot tell you anymore
Because you are the one I hurt.
Color me sad
When I want to tell you “I’m sorry”
But don’t know how to.
Color me sad
—when the colors of the rainbow blur together—
as I realize that we are done—
and it is all my fault—
—and all I see is a glinting gray sky.
