The anguish is dramatic,
But too realistic for me to feel,
The silence is awkward,
But too steep for me to climb,

There's nothing left to say,
What more can i do?
I'm not so extravagant,
But at least i colour inside the lines,

The words you speak are blurred,
And too fuzzy to hear clearly,
The sounds are fading past,
And too far gone to get a grip on,

There's nothing left to do,
What more can i say?
I'm not so flamboyant,
But at least i colour inside the lines,

So why do i deserve it?
This punishment too harsh,
Everything too unfair,
Too cruel,
Happening too fast,

There's nothing left to feel,
When everything goes numb,
Tomorrow is a whisper,
But at least i colour inside the lines,

You are telling me a story,
To help me through this night,
To get me to sleep,
But what if i don't wake up,
Or don't want to,

There's nothing left to think,
When your brain suddenly shuts off,
I'm listening to your story,
Pity i never got to hear the end.

At least i always coloured inside the lines.

However long the night, the dawn will break.

At least you do something right.  Kinda motivates me to figure out what it is that I do right.  That could take some thought.  Anyway nice write

best piece I have read by you,
I am stunned.
Is the coloring inside the lines a good thing, for some reason, I sense a kind of wishing you went outside the lines...
maybe I'm wrong
this made me feel.
I'm saving it.
excellently crafted.
