Muting Colors

by More Ways Than One

The television is on
But I put it on mute a while ago
When you came over
And now we’re here
Sitting on my bed
But your staring at the colors
Like you are actually watching

I ask you now
And your head rises
Like your afraid of something
Your mouth moves
But no sound arises

You just lean in
Your face coated with tears
I don’t need to know
At least not right now
