absence of white
By disposable
we went from blue...to new
dappled in yellow
dipped in orange
flamed to hot pink
from hot pink to red
and now we're fading fast
from red to grey
and we've never even seen
...white

well ty aleas. i am aware of subtractive colors and i hadn't made the connection. the thought is definitely appreciated and its a very interesting observation! the intention though was to play on colors being our feelings--the subject being love. as in blue=sad and white being the purest form of love. hope i didnt ruin it for you now. lol

Kind of interesting. Humans see in spectrums of red, blue and green. When all three cones are activated, that's when we see white. So to say "we've never even seen white" is to say despite it all, we've really been blind all along. Not sure if that's what you were intending, but it's still a neat little connection.
