the colors drift away (Patreon)

I watch my face change in the mirror,
the same way I watched out the window, the colors change from pink to purple to grey to black.
I watch my face change in the mirror
the colors drain from her.
the sadness moves in as the colors and light change all around me.
I watch my face in the mirror
the same way I watched the sunset
with my head hanging over the edge of the bed.
the colors in the sky changed in what felt like a moment's time.
the colors in my face changed in what felt like a moment's time.
