The color of fear
The color of love
It represents hate
And it symbolizes blood

But to me it means more
It’s reminds of warmth
In my darkest days
It brings me out of the cave

It fills me with hope
And it lets me break through
the wall of black which I’m tied to
What does red mean to you?

Great poem =) I really enjoyed reading your idea of what red is to you. It's funny how we all take different senses, colors, words, etc. differently.
