Colors
Open Your Eyes
What color am I
When you open your eyes
I used to be blue
Like a warm July sky
When you felt alone
You’d let me right in
Cherished and open
And warm on your skin
But your eyes are closed
I'm the back of your lids
Black as a hole
And I wish you'd forgive
What color am I
When you open your eyes
How do you know
If you won’t even try
Let me be red
Red like a rose
I'll provide comfort
Like sand on your toes
Let me be trees
Vibrant and oh so green
And don't wake me up
If this is a dream
I count when you’re away
Seconds like sheep
I lie my head down
Fall again like sleet
I start to turn white
Become like snow
A blank canvas
Empty and exposed
Grab your brush
And dip it in dye
What color am I
When you open your eyes
