Sepia

Spend your days in black and white
Day dream away in sepia
Reminisce of yesteryear
And nostalgia bleeds from you

You've locked the door and lost the key
I know you'll never let me in
I kept on knocking 'til my hands bled dry
Who is that stranger in your skin?

And rain falls harder every day
I need to find a place to sleep
I searched for shelter in my dreams
But even they had turned on me

Sad work for it is sad to read of someone who has lost their love or the love is no longer connecting to that person..Sara
