Domino

My world is slowly caving in.
I knew it would.
Colorblind yet responsive.
Sure of yourself.
Red to orange, to yellow, to pink.
Incredible discovery.
No shadow of reason.

I’m hanging on instead of letting go.
Why quit now?
Defend yourself to the very end.
When you’re stuck.
Knee deep, no hope, no point.
Outrageous claims.
Never a doubt.

I’ve been hiding out for miles.
Underneath that smile?
Telling me they’re tears of joy?
Suit yourself.
Take this hand like hope.
Predictable chorus.
Never echoed.
