lyrics

Do you remember when purple was your favorite color?
When you were a little girl, it was the first crayon
in the box that had to have the paper peeled back.
You would color everything, even faces
in shades of violet.
Razzle Dazzel Rose,
Hot Magenta,
and Purple Pizzazz.
You memorized the names of all the purple blossoms
in your mother’s garden.
Bellflower,
Iris,
Verbena,
and you had a slight obsession with Echinacea.
When you were sixteen, you’d jam Prince in the living
room,
pretending you were dancing in his Purple Rain.
Now, no more Pansies catch your eye.
The music has stopped.
No one is dancing.
Purple reminds you of the Crown Royal bag,
a box of broken promises,
Stupid bitch,
and that bruise
on your left cheek.
