Colour is drained
from our world,
Leaving a hollow, empty shell
Emotion has vanished,
and the best parts of life
have been picked at
and tossed away
It might bring out the best in us
or it could show us the worst,
Each day, an easy path, or
a struggle to remain living
People come together,
but it can tear people apart,
Kisses and smiles,
Blood and tears
Humanity is a strange thing...
