Purple

Let me be lavender
Tucked under your pillow
Or behind your mask
Let me be lavender

Let me be violet
Heralding spring
And the artist's brush
Let me be violet

Let me be
Just this once
Let me be
Lilac or indigo
Orchid or thistle
I care not for distinction
So long as I persist
In the hair dye stains
On your clothes

Let me be
I want to be
Your favorite color
