My story took a turn when
I abandoned my monochrome
My torturous shades of greys
And dearest colors of night
I wasn't loyal to them anymore
Painting my skin with violets and pinks
Reds and golden yellows
Along with other shades of the dawn

For him yes, it was for him
I wrote my love all over my skin
with all the colors that I gave up
With all the colors that I once had
Before giving them up for the safety of the dark
It was quite unfortunate when I figured out
The man I was doing this for
He was color blind.
