Allison Walters Luther – Sepia

Sepia
Allison Walters Luther

Sepia is the color of nightmares

That have lost their horror

And their sharp edges have dulled

So when they scratch you

You no longer bleed


Sepia is the color of dreams

Long since dead

Colors fading until

You can almost remember

What happiness was


Sepia is the color of memories

Cobwebs swirling in

Hurricanes

Always just out of reach

Like peace


Sepia is the color of loss

Times of nevermore

In raven sharp form

With the pain of knowing

But not forgiveness
