Asking for color
diamonds and hearts,
rainbows and dreams -
they all seem the same.
spades are ignored,
clubs are abandoned...
just playing my cards.
just a color?
or blurred emotions -
clearly, with eyes teary
closure is impossible
with your sole
still between my frame.
ever since you've been gone,
i don't want to be back...
not in black.
diamonds and hearts,

clubs are abbandoned...

I liked these lines, I like the play on like hearts-spades-clubs, like a deck of cards and like how the cards have different colors. there was good wordplay and imagery in this stanza. it was structured well and you said alot with a few words. Theres an art to the short poem. you seem to be one of the ones thats pretty good with it.
(lol at the extra 'b' in abandoned, I'd go in and edit that).

umm....I didn't get these lines....not saying they don't make sense, I just didn't get them.
I agree with Cinizter ^^ Simple short poems are really hard to shove your whole story in there, but you did this really nicely. Short, simple, but still hits hard.

Also agree that, that was an amazing opener, word play was nice man. Glad to see this structure in here every once in a while.
Nice post, keep it up.
