Shades of Grey

grey,grey,grey!!
no,it's not a colour;it's life!!
dull grey,
                 it's not a colour,
                                         it's a feeling of lost;
like spending father's day alone,
                    alone in a one room apartment;
it's watching a friend leave after an arguement,
                     wishing you could take back the words,
                                            but unable to;
it's standing by the grave of one's parent,
                      wishing for lost opportunities,
                                             the chance to ask forgiveness,
                                                                      to make amends;
grey,it's hearing an old song,
                       one you once called,"our song",
                                               but unable to share;
it's seeing an old picture, and remembering,
                        days gone by,
                                              and of chances long gone.
