Colourblind

Black and white is all I see, my brain can’t seem to leave me be.

The smell is fading and the colours aren’t staying;

The world has turned cold.

The ache,

The empty; don’t forget the agony. Haunted by my minds lies, I am colourblind.

No hope is in sight and I’ve stayed in fight or flight, I can’t seem to win.

But then it fades; the grey turns to yellow, black to pink and I’ve started seeing colours within the next week.

Look out my window; what do I see?

Beautiful green trees and even a few bees.

Open a window, let the light in.

And then I hear him, that precious boy. His eyes so loving, his smile so large; I can’t believe that he’s all mine. My baby boy, my hero of life; you’re my one and only healing light.

Yes; you my son, have saved my life.

Pink, green and purple; yellow, blue and red..

who would have thought that this would change my thoughts;

But it has. It has changed everything,

I see colour again.
