BLINDED

My heart aches
--broken
Colors divide us
--seperated
Lines society has drawn
--different
Not by what's inside of us
--identical
Where the things that matter linger
--the heart
Our love for each other
--soul
Longing for companionship
--tainted
Values from others
--confused
They do not understand themselves
--searched
Hate was all they found
--fate
It brings us together
--decision
Will their scorn divide us?
--disconnection
We will face it
--common
Only to each other
--mirrored
Solely to ourselves
