Memory of a Life Long Gone

Dark and dull A photo taken long ago Black and white No emotion But look closely There are things you could discover Things no one had Just because it looks blank Doesn't always mean it is Just because there’s nothing to look at Doesn't mean there’s no color A spark of hope A rainbow after the storm Only to fade away Like everything good Life as a boy No one loved Black and dull Life as a boy Who never learned how to care A spark of hope Color trying to seep in Fading away once again Life as a boy Who wanted nothing more Then a chance at success Life as a boy Who wanted a family Who wanted to be loved Who wanted to care Who wanted a story Who wanted a life Who wanted anything But a dull photo Black and White…. Life as a boy, Long forgotten Life as a boy Who no one knew existed….
