She pressed a rainbow to my heart
even in death
it painted this darkened heart
every shade of her outlandish colour
resting within me a wish
for peace
now hers

Those who love us teach us to love and understand beauty as they have experienced it. And their concern for our happiness urges us on, and outlasts even death. A quiet, thoughtful and appreciative write.

Your writing has a sad note to it yet it is written so beautifully abstract. I loved the opening line "She pressed a rainbow into my heart". That is a lovely line.
