Colourblind

Colourblind babies see grey, grey, grey.
Safe from distinction, for the moment.
Lullabies loosen from tongues,
Little truths.

'Til delight bleeds into painful and new.
So live your impossible reds and blues.
They don't stand a chance with you.

Colourblind babies sleep fitful and long.
Dreaming of you.
Incisions slice meaning for love to stitch up,
To comfort cold hands.

So live your impossible reds and blues.
They don't hold a candle to you.
