Color Burn

Trapped between dream and reality
Struggling in the curtain helplessly
Light forcing its way through the dark
Piercing blinding pure and stark
I try to lift up but cannot start
Darkness tries to encircle my heart
I hear pounding coming from the shadows
Turning to see where the pounding's from
I open my eyes to vision clear
The darkness disappeared after being so near
Yet the colors are gone
Colors have been bled to grey
Making the world a façade of fey
I turn and see you
With your eyes still blue
Standing next to me
Both still wondering how can this be
I start to grasp your hand
Taking all the comforting I can
Yet the color remains on your skin
What is this abomination
How did all of this begin
The only light which I see
Is bright white shining on me
I close my eyes hoping for colors to return
Instead of looking like a color burn
Surveying the grey of the land
The hills which roll on the span
Trying to paint the colors with my mind
Hoping that the colors will bind
I open my mouth to speak to you
To tell you something which is true
Yet instead of words spilling
Color starts filling
In the void that was once black
A full blown color attack
