Dark shadow light

how can you hold onto a memory you never had?

How can you believe in a dream you never could grasp?

How is it so hard to see that you turn my red green blue

Into dark shadow light

And that my heartsong is drained into your colorless spite?

How do you fall into the deep river of shadow and not drown? How do you claw onto

My very vocal cords and make our light go up and down?

It’s flickering into dark, but it fades into shadow.

You like gray, it fits with your face.

You like light, it helps you erase

The dark.

I sink into my never-born memory

Of red green blue

A bell of ever shining colors

While now I realize, instead,

I’m stuck, almost eternal, in your dark shadow light

Hue.
