I look around at my gray world. 
The gray trees
The gray skies
The gray people
It's all gray. 
I am colorblind you see. Different shades of gray is all there will ever be. 
I can see color sometimes though. 
People's "auras" show in vivid colors.

Purple, passionate, romantic people. 
Yellow, afraid, anxious people.

I'm far too afraid to let the words slip from my lips or to let my glance linger. 
I've tried, truly I have
to tell you these things
But, you smile, or crack joke
and I melt like ice on the scorching pavement in July. 
I wish you were a mind reader so that you'd know the way feel.
I wish I was a mind...

Dear Mr. Cupid,
Stop using broken arrows when you aim your bow at me. 
Some are snapped in half. 
Jagged, deep wounds that never seem to heal.
Others are soaked in battery acid,
eating away at my heart. 
Dear Mr. Cupid,
When you do take aim 
Won't you remove the blindfold you wear?
Won't you please take special care
to ensure you do hit the both of us with an arrow that is whole?
Dear Mr. Cupid,
One day the...
