bitter synesthesia

have you seen those videos:
someone; maybe
        a teenage boy, an elderly man
                a seeming hard creature of hidden emotions
is given a pair of glasses with dark lenses

he weeps. he weeps
suddenly seeing color
for the first time ever. 

his tears never fail
to move my tears.

i never knew words had color
until cruel dis
         ease stole yours away
and gave me this 
    bitter
        synesthesia.

out of the world
        slowly bled your words
                into black silence.
                        what will ever
                                show me colors again?
