Maroon

This tints "memory" a color: not red, but that darkened maroon of oxidized blood, like a scab. Don't you have an ex who, when remembered, surfaces a specific shade?

It writes huge lingering with few strokes. Taylor hides "can't let go" in collar, carpet, wine stain — no cry, yet heavier than weeping. You'll freeze — some goodbyes you can't forget even the color.
