Colours
Who cares about the colour of your eyes? I can see all the shades of your soul But I fade into the background Blurred like a watercolour painting Suffocated by masks of colour That are almost deafening It doesn't matter which colour you choose They all scream your name Your portrait is mentally engraved Onto the back of my skull Your name is more familiar to me than my own You stain my fingertips Jam behind my nails Embed yourself into my skin White as leprosy Green as poison Red as love Oozing into my blood Sending my cheeks scarlet At the mention of your name Making me blue When you fade away If I could paint your many faces Your smile Your eyes Maybe I could understand you But then... Who cares about the colour of your eyes?
