Swirls of grey keep my life subdued
When all of the colors of dark intrude
Painting pictures of memories that have long faded
Splintered and fragmented as my heart's soul is shaded
Remembering when red, yellow, green, and blue
Where the colors of life's supernal hues
All are but a fond remembrance in this abysmal dream
Hovering along the edges of lucidities felled seams
Each color was once so vibrant and true
Like sunlight glistening upon a new mornings dew
Yet my shadow is now the one that walks beside me anew
As I fall ever deeper within this midnight hue
