Lights /styles au/

Where Harry is blind and tricks people into thinking he isn't. Where he falls in love with someone he can't even see, and Jo falls in love with someone who's broken but doesn't even know it yet. Harry and Jo fall in love and then everything breaks around them and he tries to keep them together but it isn't easy when all he sees are shadows and lights and all she feels is betrayal.

"Let me help you."
"You can't even see."
"I can see the lights."
"...that's not enough."

&&

everything ends
with the shattering of lights and glass
that blind and bleed.

and in the end,
you are the only one
who has made it less sad.

but in the end,
you have cracked and i have bled
and we've made a mess
of sad, sightless wounds that bleed
regret and sorrow
and all things that coursed through our veins.

in the end,
we are just as fragile as the bulbs i tore down
the night i said i loved you,
and we are just as fragile as each other.

because it's black and white
and we can't just color each other in
with a spectrum we can't see.

and that's how we end.
