The End

I see colors all around Shifting silently without a sound Red for the blood running through my veins Echoing memories of phantom pains Orange for the splattered skies Oblivious to this world of lies Yellow for the shining sun Growing dimmer as each day is done Green for the leaves abstract with dew Falling like the peace we never knew Blue for the ocean, swift and strong As it pulls the rolling waves along Purple for the violet night A kingdom under starry light Grey for the vibrancy fading out As the earth follows its deadly route Brown for the soil where life is grown But also where lost friends call their home Pink for the touch of the sweetest kiss If only reality were as perfect as this Silver for the blade of a knife Cutting through despair and strife Gold for what we all want and need Shattering perfect love with greed Black for the deepest depths of my soul The darkness I’ll never be able to control These colors flashing before my eyes Disappearing as the universe dies
