He who walks around in the grey concrete,
With a smile that brings out a bit of color.
The one who bares cool mint, a gift,
I wonder why he even bothers?

A silent gift of lustful intent.
Oh, what a foolish delight.

But I think I'm ready for something more.
Perhaps something tame,
But something worth coming alive for.
I WANT TO FEEL ALIVE!

How do I find this so-called "More"?

Is it the pain we lust?
Isn't there something beautiful about a romatic distrust?

Is it the pain we lust?
It is, isn't it?

You are utterly captivated.
Like the paintings on the walls.
Dripping with emotion, and sometimes,
Simply without.

You are complex, a masterpiece,
Within my dull world.
This is truly how I see you.

But I wish you could see me the way you see her,
Blindly, but fully in all colors.

And I wish you felt for me the way you felt for her.
Unconditional, complete, without
and outside of hesitations.

You are utterly captivated by her, like the paintings on your walls.
Dripping in emotion, and sometimes,
Simply without.

It is all grey, everything around me.
I look beyond myself most days to attempt repair.
I miss the pink peonies and the overwhelming tangerine.
I wish it would come find me, like the way I look for you,
In everything and everyone.

But I can't see...
Everything is grey.
And I try to look beyond myself most days to attempt repair.
But sometimes I look too far and I reach the edge,
where there's nothing left.

It is all just grey.

I could just be tired, but it feels like sadness.
And I could just be tired, but I feel alone.
