Written by A Shade of Pen and HastyWords

I am painting my life

And I do not find the colors

Draped in monotonous tones

I gaze at a solitude that kills

 

Your smile brought dazzle

To the pinks and reds

Your eyes brought depth

To the aquamarines

 

So without you, it’s darker

It’s grey somehow

Like a storm has come

Casting shadows down

 

As the storm silently builds

I hear the roar of lightning

With promises to tear me apart

I hear the sound of suffering in my heart

 

As the rain finally finds me

I stand wet, cold, and alone

I let whatever colors are left of me

Bleed like silhouettes to the ground

 

Nothing moves a bit

As time comes to stand still

Frozen, alone and unheard

Another life ends in oblivion

 

Dreams, hopes, and wishes

Washed away in pastel hues

Raindrops like passionate kisses

Saying their goodbyes

 

Everything I have left

I give back to you

Take from me the things

Mother earth, which you can use
