Withdrawals

lots of grey
in my black & white picture of yours
the dialogues unheard
and pinching silences 
of choosing the same words
as I come through 
to laugh off the world
the view infront 
steer clears of the fog
only to show for a second 
the ever perfect smile of his 
and that brings me to
 glistening over the past
how the truth seemed to be far
from the lines I drew
and so does the hope too, now
