So turn me upside down
& spill my thoughts to the canvas,
I'll color you a tragedy.
And you'll laugh and you'll cry
At the story of a shining girl who lost herself,
somewhere between love and longing
And the boy with her map scrawled across his chest.
And you'll smile at how colorful she is.
You should watch closely as the picture paints itself
Because mine is a story about a girl with a socket for a heart
The boy with the plug that fit so right
And how he lit her through and through.
And as the story comes to an end,
You'll ache with empathy and stare at the blotches
While you notice that the colors are fading
And they aren't so bright any longer.
Because this is a story of a fluorescent girl
That fell for a colorblind boy-
A boy that tried, but couldn't love her back
Because all he saw was shades of grey.
