I wrote this poem one day when I was down on myself a while back. I look back and see how depressing it was but it was a good one no less. It's like a reminder about bad times when friends/lovers leave and heartbroken dreams. I hope you all can enjoy it. If you can relate to whats being said feel free to reply to it as any feedback will be appreciated. It's pretty personal but I don't mind sharing it with you all.

Thanks,

Randy

-Black and White-


No more colors to fill in these lines.
With all the emotions I think I'll go blind.
Have you ever felt the sting of a hard days rain?
Have you ever felt these multiple shifting pains?

When anger leaves you what do you have left?
Sadness and agony mixed with a little regret.
A scewered heart and a broken mind.
A hole in your soul unhealable by time.

No more colors only black and white that I see.
I'll sail through the ocean of my shattered dreams.
It's been a while since I have shed a tear.
I think It's time to let out the frustration I fear.

What is happening, and how could this be?
Is it better for them to just up and leave me?
I have so much to give and I ask so little.
Why does the heart only speak in riddles?

When I look deeper inside here is what I see.
A broken mirror, a clock that has stopped, and a colorless key.
It's not too hard to figure out or too deep to read.
You just only need to know a few things about me.

The broken mirror is what I think of myself.
The clock thats stopped is the time that is left.
The colorless key belongs to my heart.
The emotions that are inside rip me apart.

I am looking for color to fill in those lines.
A sense of purpose and a piece of mind.
A love so pure that won't fade away.
I am so tired of feeling this shade of gray.
