my favorite color.

You better let yourself out,
because I let yourself in.
And it's only hospitable,
to finish what I begin.

And you only wage winning battles.
But I wager what you fight.
This war has just begun.
Will your lies last the night?

Sometimes I forget what I look like.
I stare at that mirror for so long.
Slowly my image exchanges,
to something I see as so flawed.

This is the Roman Empire,
this is the Greek's western coast.
This is the President's theater.
The capital that costs most.

A good write. Im berundled about your title " Color ". You never mentioned a color at all. Correct me if im wrong, but sounds like u let someone in your life, thats what u started but didn't work out obviously , and said to em , " I let u in , will u please walk away.(OUT). Or something pretty close like that.

It is called 'my favorite color.' because the boy it is written about, claimed to care deeply about me, but when asked my favorite color; could not come up with it. And yes, exactly. (:

Awesome write Alyson! I love how you don't need to define anything. You just put it out there for the reader to figure out. Its a great technique.
