She Hates Purple
She hates purple
simply because
it was
my favorite color
or maybe it’s because
I stole
her coveted role
as baby of the family
Who knows why
I only know
it’s hard to be resented
for something you can’t control
Yet I must let it go
forgive
love her more than
I love purple
(Which, incidentally,
isn’t my favorite anymore)

Oh, Linda, I hope you can let it go…like the color purple.
