Red

Hearts are made of glass, and the colour red just gives me too many mixed signals.

Did you know

that red is the color of love and passion and heat (and hearts)

and energy and luck and attraction?

But did you know

that it's also the color of danger 

and error and cold stop-sign metal

and pain and anguish and warnings?

Did you know that hearts are fragile?

They're glass-spun 

and paper-thin 

and tragically breakable,

did you know that?

(Did you know that?)

 

And even though I'm not very brave

and it's only an almost-crush and nothing more...

if I gave you my caged-bird thin-paper spun-glass heart

and you let me see your red, red, red heart,

would you drop mine,

and would I see warnings painted on yours?

Would it be worth it?

 

(But you see,

my heart's made of glass

but it's not nearly transparent,

and red gives me too many mixed signals.)

Author's Note

Truthfully, inspiration came from my favourite yaoi couple, Shizaya. ((Durarara!! fandom.)) Yeahhhh, I'm a yaoi fangirl.
But that's just inspiration. The guy who'd be thinking this would be a pretty out of character for some of the lines, hah.

Enjoy~
