Answer

I took your purple book

and with a purple smile

I pitched it in the bin

wishing it were you.

I would laugh to see you 

ground to pulp

in the purple teeth

of the trash truck.

Cynthia, this is a pithy piece! Whilst I'm not feeling the purple thing (are you bruised perhaps) it is obviously relevant due to its tri-repetition. The brevity is perfect for the sentiment however.
