 Penciled Thoughts

Broken colors


I've gathered up the colors
That say what's on my mind.
The colors that used to cheer me up
Are now the broken kind.

Brilliant Yellows of the sun
Are now some shades of gray.
Depression spills I drown in it
I quickly fade away.

My colored mind is melting
Causing me to lose the fight.
Now I view all my life
Only in black and white.

The color blue striped with reds.
Fade in the darkened sky.
Sleep don't offer me escape
No matter how I try.

So the colors blend together
They're seeping through the crack.
The colors of the rainbow
Changed to total black.

I stumbled in the darkness
Struggling with what to do.
A glow lights up the room
The glow's coming from you.

Your beauty has me captive
The light comes from your eyes.
You give the room back its color.
You do it without a try.

You gathered up the colors
Toss them into the air.
Showering me with love
Showing me you care.

you took my broken colors
that lay scattered about the room.
With a kiss you made them whole
A rainbow starts to bloom

How I love my colors
They're reminders of you
You're mending all my tears
You help me make it through
