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...
