Shades of Grey

A Poem

I called you my sunlight Because of your smile and warmth, Were what woke me each morning… The love in me blossomed like roses…

They smiled and blossomed with A shade of Violet so Brilliant that I convinced Myself they could never Bloom again without you.

But your warm embrace came and went with the seasons And over time faded by, The time I realized, How you burned me, Scorched me like the summers And parched my love in a way That the flowers turned… Grey, bleached of life.
