Shades Of Gray Poem by Dyhanara Rios

I’ve decided that gray is a color
That is better than any other.

Well, I thought about you the other day,
And how a simple change led us astray.
Colors of hope faded to gray
In the wake of yesterday.

In the wake of what happened yesterday...

Now that you’re gone,
I’m left here to carry on.
My colors of hope faded today,
But to the prettiest shades of gray.

In the wind I hear our song
With all the passing hours.
In the wind it floats along
With my spirit it devours.

Now that you’re gone,
I know I’ve got to hang on.
My colors of faith faded today,
But will soon rise again to shades of gray.

How can gray be a color of sadness?
You’re the one with colors of madness.
When I think of gray, I’ll always smile,
Holding happiness in my arms for a while...

Very few people now see the colors in your eyes,
They’re just what you’ve painted to mask the lies.
I thought about you the other day,
And how I narrowly escaped your awful ways.

My cloud of fate is lined with the shiniest gray.
And that’s what I was thinking the other day.

Now that you’re gone,
I’m strong and moving on.
My colors of joy faded today,
But to the happiest shades of gray.
