Colour Blind

I was hidden from the colours,

that had painted rainbows in your life.

My world was filled with black and grey,

of your dull world through my eyes.

You tell me how pretty they look,

of red,blue,yellow,green and wide.

They sound almost as magnificent,

but I only know them from how you'd described.

Something happened one fateful day.

Of your dull world,

through my black and grey.

For once,in my entire life,

I saw that rainbow in my dull world.

Of red,blue,yellow,green and wide,

I saw colours from you in my dull world.

But the ugly truth didn't take long

to reveal its true colours to me.

Of all the colours you've been,

I wonder how true you could be.

Your rainbow started fading away.

And you slowly fade away from my world

of black and grey.

My eyes sees not of colours,nor rainbows

and magnificent things you've described.

For once the colours it saw,

was of sadness and otherwise.

And now in my world of black and grey,

I see things so much genuine.

For through my eyes in black and grey,

I shun away from the colours in disguise.
