Everything is lonely when I think about you.
No more flings or friendship.
No more conversation.

Everything turns gray when I think about you.
The colors fade on instant,
Blurring in my confusion.

Everything lies when I think about you.
I become this pessimist,
Drawn to quick suspicions.

Everything dies when I think about you.
Life ceases to exist
Among my depression.

So I pause for a moment,
Every minute or so,
When I think about you,
And the lies you still tell.

"If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame." - Adam Duritz

sad... but lies and hurt seem to go together..and do indeed drain the color from the world around us..

When it hurts this much to think...perhaps you should dance, instead.  Be well.

Sad indeed when a colorful world turns gray

Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go.

*sniffles* a very powerful piece of writing. I love it.

been there...been there once, it is painful.

You do move the reader. And of course the pragmatic alternative, left brain speaking- think about something or someone else. Is that not the easiest thing to say. And yet often nto only hard, a seeming impossibility. Yet writing is catharsis. Well done.
