I see you look at me
The black and white of your eyes
You cannot truly see
It is all truth or lies
No in-between
There is no gray
Do you really know what I mean?
Each is a monochrome day
It’s all white or black
You live or you die
You can’t take it back
Why try?
It’s all the same
Who laughs and who cries
Who cares who left and who came
At least, in your checkerboard eyes
I must turn away now, for fear
Of you, of us, of me
I turn away from the mirror
I cannot see
