Outside, sky, begins to decay,
Everchanging life, shades of grey,
Inside, heart, begins to break,
Another shade comes to wake.

Murky clouds on this mourning day,
A darkened world, blue far away,
Tears lurk behind closed brown eyes,
Shades of grey in hidden lies.

Trees stand, silent and alone,
Keeping secrets they have grown,
A smile stays close, fighting pain,
Happiness is what ill feign.

Outside sky fractures with light,
Fighting against the steady night,
Ill stay strong, come what may,
Despite these endless shades of grey.
