you hold me up high on a pedestal- your perfect gold shining trophy. // to you, the world has always been different tones of monochrome. the sun was pale- almost white, but not quite. the oceans were their own hue of gray- special and unique. and when I befriended you, I took a variety of pigments and started to paint a spectrum of light onto your canvas of reality. you always gush to your friends and family about me- how charismatic and lovely I am. how I touched your icy grey eyes with my bright blue hands and gifted you with a sense of sight. and I'm honored, I promise I am. but darling, there is vibrant yellow sunshine in your veins and a purple haze in your mind. there is stardust that shines brightly within you, mixed right in there with your cherry-red blood. there has always been color in your life. but you never quite allowed yourself to see it. I'm not anything extraordinary. but I hope that when you realize that, you'll  keep the colors that I inked into your life. // and maybe, you'll keep me, too.
