you brought light into my world
but you wanted rid of the color
it was just too intense for you
even though you were the source
and so I did what I could
to turn it down to something muted
a little more grey to dull the senses
shift the hues of green and blue
still it wasn’t what you wanted
so you wiped it all away
hid the light behind your walls
now the shade has shifted darker
there’s no color left around
nothing reflected off this surface
no refracted bands to see
this boring, lifeless, place is mine
and mine alone to suffer through
