Color

I open my eyes

and all the color’s gone

It’s so disorienting

nothing looks the way it’s meant to

Everything is so distorted

I couldn’t tell you what the truth is

What’s real, what’s fantasy,

what’s just a lingering nightmare

I don’t know where the lines are

as long as I wander

these sepia tone streets

I can’t take anything at face vakue

when I can’t make out the lines

on anyone’s faces

All I can do is hope

that it’s something in my eye

and that it passes with time

I won’t know what damage is done

in my confusion

until I can open my eyes

and see the color again
