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.
