all the many colors of my heart, all the many shades,
for all the times I've held you in my arms,
for each memory that fades...

all the many mishaps in my past, all the many mistakes,
for all the times I'd take back if I could,
for every regret that shakes...

all the many passions in my soul, all the many dreams,
for all the times our lips have met,
for any outpouring that screams...

(inside I'm tinted by the light that's stopped shining, inside
I'm tainted by songs that have failed to sing)

all the many colors of my heart, all the many shades,
for all the times I kept faith in you,
for each memory poisoned by haze...
for each moment that eventually fades...
-S.M.
