Colourblind
by
Nishi
It's just a smokescreen
It's just a haze
Sand and mist over my eyes
Your eyes
Illusions and mirages
Since forever
You have seen me
You have walked with me
Heard me
Listened to my footfalls
Carried my tears around in the pockets of your heart
Broken memoirs and torn pictures
Of my soul in a book
In your arms
And I you
I struggled and bared my soul
I bled into my tears
My weaknesses are battle grounds for you to trample on
I ran needles through my veins
I prostituted my joys
I gave you my eyes so you see colors like me
I gave away my soul and stayed within this shell
So you could hold on to me
And you still don't know me like I do
You still don't know me
How do I forgive myself?
How do I not walk away?

Wow so much feeling - i love it!
Nishi, this is absolutely beautiful and full of feeling.
This is pure, raw emotion. I love it!
I am touched by all your comments. I am quite at a loss at what to say. It is a very personal poem, writing it was almost cathartic (as many of my poems are), and I am truly gratified that you like it so much.
Thanks so much.
- Nishi
