Poem: Without You, I’m Colorblind

If I’m like

Moonlight

looking down on

my world of green

then you can be

The Sun

My dim

silver haze

could never amount

to your shine

To your bright

and sunny rays

If there’s a purpose

to my night

could it be to balance

our your light?

Like two sides

of one heart

together, we

complete the other

Then one morning

you didn’t rise

I looked forever

for your golden

sunshine

But it was like

I’d gone blind

Where there should’ve been day

it was only night

Now I’ve

gone colorblind

like somebody robbed

the blue from our

precious skies

Green

drips from trees

Yellow and violet

fade from flowers

Every minute

of every hour

all I see

are rain showers

Come back to me

Paint my world

of blue and green

Color me

with everything

you have ever

wanted to see

“I know you’re seeing black and white

so I’ll paint you a clear blue sky

Without you, I’m colorblind

It’s raining, every time I open my eyes”

-Troye Sivan, Alex Hope, “Blue”

Dedicated to everyone I’ve ever lost or let go of.

Happy Friday, everyone! Or whatever day it is that you’re reading this. For me, it’s a Friday evening and I’m in the back of a car heading to Las Vegas. It’s my first time going and I guess I’m somewhat excited. Mainly for the hotel. I’m not much of a club/bar kinda guy but I’ll try it out
