Colored Blind ~eyes On Fire~

How can I be so aware of where I am yet feel so lost Your not here, therefore I’ve lost my direction I’ve lost the light and I can’t find the sun I’ve searched for days but I’m still coming up short. Im loosing hope Wishing on stars that will never shine And I know I can’t be found when you’re not looking Are you even real? Or are you just a dream I’ve made up A dream I dreamed but blinked and woke up And the color drained from my eyes They widen searching for a hint of color But they too are in the dark. Colored blind Only viewing black and white dancing to grays Oh to see through your eyes What it must be like Everything so vibrant and alive. This acquired taste The salty sea taste With an over whelming flavor That won’t soon leave my lips. My throat dry and voice raspy Dead without a day of song. My lungs, they serve no purpose in a world without air But still they burn begging for what’s not there. I drop to the ground Feeling around Searching desperately for something Anything with life But my finger tips only bleed for the dead rose’s thorns. But then, a change, a transformation The rose burst into life right in my hand But that is not the only change There is something else Something good Full of life You. My eyes go unfocused for a second In a world without color you stand out Strewn in vibrant colors that make my eyes water at the sight They refocus I can see you clearly now Beauty and brilliancy I do not dare blink! I can’t take my eyes off you Because there’s nothing else to see And I know im wishing for too much but I’d wish you’d look at me I know im hardly noticeable Being so invisible But I only wish you could see me. The salty taste turns to sugar on my tongue And my lungs are revived So don’t leave Please don’t leave If you do the color will wash away with you My eyes bloodshot still not well adjusted to such a sight A sight I’ve never seen except in the most impossible of dreams And there you stand Im afraid that if I move or blink or even breathe You’ll disappear So I’ll stay frozen It’s not like its difficult My burning eyes are locked and there’s nothing I can do These eyes will always burn for you.
