THE SHAPE OF YOU IS A RED-HOT LOVE SONG
The shape of you is a color-changing LED.
Red-hot love song
sung by the devil in a blue dress,
pink-salmon tongue
with sweet yellow lies,
changing green summer dreams
and purple bruised words.
I try to catch the colors of your wind
but end up time
and time again in the grey haze
somewhere at the end of the rainbow.
