i have sat here
trying to describe to you the beauty
in all the shades of black;
*from the charcoal that drips from my lashes,
to the shadows of onyx that tango with my thoughts,
even the raven stains of blood in the night*
but your eyes are crystals that
reflect rainbows in every direction
and no matter how hard you try, you
just can't see past the colors
and i'll always be Clara Bow trapped
in a grayscale screen
