I may be colorblind
but the colors you showed me
were the only ones I knew

You colored me
I colored you 
but then it dawned on me

that we are two shades
and I will never blend
into you - 

It was oddly 
beautiful: 
the way he shouted.

He grew angry

at nothing in particular.

If only you could

soften the sound,

you would hear

the words he said to her.

He truly did

love her.
