Your Power

Itzu Romero

When I dye you 
The world notices 
I hold the power 
To shape you at will
 
Flames flicker 
The evening sky glows 
Galaxies held in my hand 
Sweetness of cotton candy 
The ocean flows 
In your waves
 
But after so long 
I miss what you were 
Compare you 
To chocolate or dirt 
A natural feeling 

I allow you to grow 
Only to kill you again 
With bleach and dye 
Rise and Repeat 

Forgive me 
For my abuse 
Of your power
