Colors

Watching down that memory lane

When laughter kept me company

When songs were the hope of spring

The winter that was just dead and gone

If I’d be eyes you’d be my blindfold

If  I’d be words you’d be my sound

If  I’d be anything but me

you’d still exist beyond time

you were the color that filled my canvas

the red consumed with anger and agony

the blue with subtle passion

and the white with blissful freedom and purity

I wish I could see beyond those colors

The person who stood behind the veils

I wish I could see your pain that love wrought

For the words you spoke just never made sense

Today when I stand where you stood few years back

I see that all you saw was hollow and failure

And that all you saw was cold and hatred

I guess I was way behind or maybe just afar

You tried to reach but I saw nothing of you

How could I be so selfish and so heartless?

How could I not see what you were going through?

I blame that mist and those colors that we built

Yes, when today that light guides me

I see clarity that showed you hate and coldness

But why does it choose to show me pain

When all I can do is be blank filled with emptiness

Maybe because the colors show me truth today

The red an igniting flame of love that started that fire

The subtle blue that held onto my love like deep water

And the white that love splashed erasing the hate

I see green with its tender arms open to greet

I see golden filled within the morning lark

I wish you could see too the colors of love

But you chose black and all you saw was just that.
