Refractions

That's how I remember you:
As pure white light
Behind smiling eyes,
Eyes that loved me,
Crystalline light shining
Pure from virgin joy

I remember you like
Every shade of grey,
All shadows of indecision
And stricken doubt,
From ashen white
To murky coal

And I remember your
Darkest places,
Black like obsidian,
Outlined by glints of hope
Punching through leagues of grey
Back to whitest day
