Like his eyes,
the orphan's character was gray.
The debt of a roof over his head,
owned by his adoptive parents,
was paid back by hiding their crimes.

☀

Exhausted
by his psychotic wife's love,
he erased the weapons
she had tainted
with innocent blood.

♥

To save his wife,
he married another,
who looked identical
to her,
except for her golden heart.

☀

The race
between white and black
raged,
the light in his heart struggling
with the darkness in his mind.

♥

Like the gray in his eyes,
his soul refused
to choose a side
and was colored
the same.
