Shades of Grey/Gray
Grey eyes
Gray hair
Lost in her hopeless sea of despair.
Floating from day to day
like smoke
leaving from the lit cigarette
upon her lips.
Grey sweater
Gray shoes
She has no friend that isn't a bottle of *****.
Night to night
she sees no light.
Lost in the fog
that covers her eyes.
Grey face
Gray hands
left to the dirt in no man's land.
year after year
she gets closer to their fear
of becoming the grim reaper's dear.
Grey heart
Gray soul
she's spiraling out of control.
Jumping off cliffs
and biting their chapped lips
she's on the road to her death.
Inspired by the grays/greys of the days that pass.
