b/w scream

it’s funny how colors change
so quickly yes they do
the closer you get to them
so smeared goes the hue


but was it the color
or was it your eyes
that began to judge
slightly patronize
all that was
once upon a time
all that is
a love less than sublime


with great hopes
we hoped for magic to stay
the newness of touch
that smile that day
but that was that
and now, once color,
is stained black



funny
so pretty that day
to you, so fun and so fresh

funny
once special in that way
now for you, i am less
