Yellows and gray

You opened the door we said hi what was going on in your mind? mine wasn't there mine was behind trying to untangle the knots of my life... You came to my office to talk about love I wasn't ready at that moment I had to say no you left me with my sins and with another knot for you to not to be seen anymore... My world started spinning at the fear of my lost in the end we were friends I didn't want you to go I forgot about my life and all what happened before I couldn't be abandoned once more... I ran into your arms like a broken bird begging for you to come back begging you to stay I didn't know I was being fooled by my past pain by my terrors and my guilt and my yellows and grays You were waiting for me in triumph and delight just like one who achieves a trophy so shine you opened your heart but not for a long time I got trapped inside with no key while you left for life.

Sometimes it just doesn't happen, and that is the great downside of life. Just means the next time will be better. ( Change runned, to ran.)

The grief of realizing after 25 years that it was probably over the first one... and thanks for the correction, I wrote it in tears and made many mistakes (not that I don't make some without the tears lol) I took the opportunity to re-write some other words...hugs!
