Absence of Color

Why do your eyes water
Why do you break
tear at the seams

I know what I said
I heard what we sang
I didn't feel the words
I couldn't see your heart

Why do your hands shake
why do you tremble-
scream at me-
cry

Was it the sun we followed
or the gray clouds we touched
the coat of darkness
that hung over this town

is that it?
don't you remember?

Was it the sun we followed
or the storm?
caught in it's eye
watched and twisted us
tore and contused us

You can't remember where you fell
where you tripped
