The Color I Forgot
HEARTBREAKLOSSMEMORY
I don’t recall the color of your eyes…
But I remember the fire behind them.
I don’t recall the color of your eyes,
Time burned the pigment clean.
But I remember that look
like a storm breaking through a dream.
You opened up, wide and raw,
like a truth I wasn’t ready to see.
You didn’t have to say a word,
your soul was talking to me.
I saw something real once,
It cut deeper than light could show.
Not the shade in your stare,
but the truth that tried to glow.
You were thunder in my silence,
a spark I can’t let rot.
I don’t recall the color of your eyes
just the soul I never forgot.
Maybe they were blue like mercy,
or brown like whiskey rain.
Could have been green like envy,
or blacked out from the pain.
But memory doesn’t deal in detail,
it just plays the song of loss.
You left your echo in my chest,
now I’m the one who pays the cost.
I saw something holy,
in that quiet, tranquil stare.
It wasn’t love, it wasn’t peace,
but God, it was something rare.
You were thunder in my silence,
a ghost that time forgot.
I don’t recall the color of your eyes
just the soul I never forgot.
Some faces fade to nothing.
Some eyes burn through the dark.
Yours lit me up like a forge’s flame,
left scars shaped like sparks.
Now when I dream, you show up blind
no color, just light and smoke.
Your eyes are hollow mirrors
where the truth still chokes.
And every time I wake up,
my chest still carries the cost.
You’re gone, but the soul I saw
still drags me through the frost.
I saw something real once,
more than eyes could ever show.
You were lightning across the wreckage,
and I merely ashes in the glow.
You were thunder in my silence,
a spark that time forgot.
I don’t recall the color of your eyes
just the soul I never forgot.
I don’t need to see the color…
to know you burned straight through me.
