b and w
all grey hues
it’s supposed to make me
less happy
but i find that it’s different
to what i thought it would be
pictures are all plain now
but they look more calming, less chaotic
black and white photography
makes everything look romantic
now the sky looks dystopian
and flowers are shades of grey
everyone has the same hair colour
it’s something i don’t hate
and i didn’t expect
to like it this much
but now the world’s without colour
and it’s simpler to love
i didn’t expect
it would look this way
all this time
i’ve never known
the world looks pretty pretty
in monochrome.

the dull feel of pain
but not really pinching
more achy than sharp
which is better in most cases
this hurts more than it did
the first time around
but it also doesn’t hurt one bit
a mystery left unsolved
and goodbye isn’t a word
it’s more of a feeling
and through the days i felt
that you might be leaving
so adieu and farewell
it was perhaps a good time
but losing is a pain
and i lost every game
i still miss how you talk
but i don’t miss you at all
that’s important
remember
it doesn’t affect me at all
but it’s sad to look back
rome wasn’t built in a day
the greatest empires all fall
they all believe they’re eternal
but the difference is that
it really felt like we were.
