Shades of Grey

Shades of Grey

Happiness can fade away
I change the way I feel today
These Shades of Grey in yesterday 
These Shades of Grey in yesterday

Her echoes "Take this madness"
Soft and silly sick with sadness
Sickened sadness painted Blackness
Tethered strapless
Choked and breathless
-Wicked lies list 
Lust for you
Kindness
You shattered me 
Lifeless
So "Can't find you", nice, Miss
Gagged and bound
'Not scared to die'- kiss
I dream 
My dream missed
Sick with sadness
Paint my Blackness
Silly sad list
Echoes Madness
Staring silent
scary Silence
Whispered to me
"I feel you through me"

Happiness can fade away
I change the way I feel today
These Shades of Grey in yesterday
These Shades of Grey in yesterday.                                                                                                            

"I'll paint the sky for you if you move the world for me~"

everything is impermanent; the happiness, the sorrow, the richness, the poverty; nothing is permanent- we all are in the caravan of mirage;

Wow, thank you so very much Teddy. I think you're profile pic just inspired me to do a piece on the cultish dark underworld where the delicate sato-narcissistic lives of the ancient Egyptians still passionately pursued by eversocurious dedicated fundamental seekers searching, speculating and craving the solutions to un riddling finds as their maddening minds so driven to un-ravel a race of man and his philosophy of life's greater cause
