Black and White

Awakened, I marvel at what I see You were gone, in the middle of the night With you, you've taken my heart and soul And my world, became black and white The roses, were no longer a beautiful red And you've stolen the oceans blue The grass and trees no longer green And my purpose has lost its hue Now everyone I see, all look the same For the darkness is confused with the light And everyone knows, when the sun doesn't shine The color disappears in the night The flowers have lost their radiant glow They no longer take away my breath They're now adorned in the color of gray For they all wear the color of death Without your smile, to brighten the world I no longer have a need for my sight For I'd rather be blind, in a world without color Than to see it in black and white
