to dye my hair

Love rinses out - slowly,
like bright red color in my hair.
Streaming down my flesh, draining in my sink;
all my dreams pooling red, at my feet.
Each second without you catapults my minute,
destroys my hour, and slings me straight to hell.
I swallow my sympathy and walk down the next aisle.
I am shopping for that bottled color that will save me.
