Colorblind

When we lose people we start seeing in black and white
See, grief taints it leaves a taste in your mouth so horrid and so bitter we can no longer taste the sweetness.

It taints your mind by taking those wonderful memories you had and turning them into what you will no longer have, What you'll have to experience without them
It makes you see the world with a little less color

When your a child its easy to describe the world as bright and colorful, vivid colors
But as we get older and experience loss and love the world gets a little dimmer and that red that you saw in flowers simmers down to a deep burgundy, getting darker and darker until you can no longer see the color and the light

It's scary, isn't it? Losing the color you have in your life.
The darker the color the harder it is to see the light in people
The harder to trust that the darkness you see in others is actually a bright yellow that will ultimately bring you peace and joy.
