The walls have been closing in on me
And the time seems to just melt away
Nothing will ever matter anymore
After my world has went away

Taking a moment of extreme indifference
With nothing left to say
The end can’t come soon enough
Waiting until my world goes away

Coming and going is all the same to me
As is different shades of grey,
Living and dying holds the same luster
Until my world has gone away

Everything I’ve ever done is turned to dust
No one I ever knew, ever stays,
I am left behind watching, waiting helpless
As my world goes away

So much gained to lose all at once
But I will remember this day
The day I lost it all and died inside
The day my world went away

I often wonder at those who cannot see varying colors of gray, or those who only see in black and white....

and this, a heart's tug write...

Thanks Sunshine, you seem to be the only one who sees all the shades of grey with me. I appreciate that.

If we don't see the shades of gray how are we to see anything else? Great one!

remember...gray is a mixture the colors!

I can always be distracted by love, but eventually I get horney for my creativity.
