By bedazzled

We try to hide against a white wall. Confused by the colours, surprisingly vivid, swirling up from under our feet. I feel the blindfolded eyes roam over our silhouettes, cringe in the sunlight and reach for your hand. A little stardust on our lips but only poison words on theirs if they knew. Shhhh, we whisper, secret, secret but these new paintings scream bright for release. Glancing over our shoulders for a twin set of footprints, touching betrayal, brushing remorse. Yet the colours explode into a landscape we cannot ingore, that we must explore with the daylight. Animosity creeps in the shadows. What happens when the blindfolds are gone? When we stand as targets to face the torrent of bullets? I couldn't bear to bleed again.
