love.

it's something i lack,

and something you are full of.

we complement each other;

like black and white.

like a scale.

balanced.

—

but you tipped the scale

and i

i fell off,

and all that is in my mind

is

how have i wronged you?

—

because i know i must have done a fatal mistake to drive you away.

but then again,

you never did trust me fully, right?

—

all i see is you.

—

i tried to clear my mind.

this is not the time.

it is never the time

with you.

—

i used to be able to see the world with all the colors of the universe.

everything your fingertips touch glows, becomes more vibrant,

and colors seep from your fingers

and colors leak from your fingers

and colors bleed from your fingers

my body,

it is adorned with colorful smudges

from your touch

and colors seep from your fingers

and colors leak from your fingers

and colors bleed from your fingers

until you dyed the world with all the colors of the universe

and you left yourself colorless.

—

we are lovers.

worlds interwined.

and what you do

happens to me.

so the day you finally turned grey

( the day on the beach )

my vision changed

i can no longer see the vibrant colors of the world

i can only see

black

white

grey

and you.

i want my vision back.

but you seemed to be happier muted

and i can't take that away from you.

not when you and i have given

all of us.

—

wait.

there was never an us.

it was you, me, and the world.

there was never an us.

it was you.

and me.

together yet worlds apart.

never truly a perfect match.

—

you.

me.

the world.

can we go back to how things were before?

when we pretended there was an us all along?

did we ever pretend?
