Colors of my life

If I could control the colors in which define my life.
I would take away the grays and blacks that shadow me through the nights.
I would paint with pinks and lavendars and aqua shades of blue, for those are the colors that tinted my world when I spent my life with you.
The beaming bursts of yellow and the various shades of green, the passionate essence of the color red remind me of just how much you mean.
If I could rewind the book of my life to the times of infantry, when all I saw was black and white until you came and colored me.
My eyes can only see the shadows of the colors I once knew, the vivid glimpse of orange and magenta that showed me my love was true.
The darkest colors of the saddest grays and the bubble of blackness that surrounds me each day, are the only colors in which I now see since you went away and left me.
I can only hope that oneday I will be able to see that beautiful rainbow of color that you once introduced to me.
It's magnificent ribbons of color that shine so very bright, I will always hold within my heart so close to me and so tight.
I would rather be blind if I shall never see all of the colors that you brought forth in me.
I can only pray that you will come and paint my life once more, for without your array of luminous colors I have nothing to live for.

Nice

A lot is said here. Both hopeful and depressing at the same time, the way you ended it. Well done.

I know its's slightly morbid

I recently broke up with my boyfriend of 10yrs we practically grew up together being as though I am only 24yrs. old. But I choose to decorate my emotions by putting them into words such as the ones in COLORS OF MY LIFE. I had a chance 2 read some of your stuff I think it's wonderful and very deep. Are your works published? thanks so much for the feedback. :)

"Colors"

Beautifully expressive but passionately lonely
