Colorblind

Little white lies. I told them in the dark, so you’d miss out on their color, until we made a spark. Getting caught red handed, Always held my mind. So keeping truths beneath the rug, I closed all the blinds. I was feeling awfully blue one year, Almost too much to live on, But I could not let that slip, So I reached up and grabbed the sun. Envy once almost overcame me, And I was grassy green, But by this time you had your beliefs, So I slipped it by unseen. But not once did you ask me, For just the truth, no lies. So I kept you in the dark my dear, And made you colorblind.
