COLOUR

I was like that black and white picture hung on the wall,

Devoid of colour but contented with my loneliness.

Then you came along,

And brought colour to my life.

I was all shades of bright,

And happy with my new-found beauty.

Then you left just as you came,

Without notice, without reason.

Where did I go wrong?

I thought we made a perfect match.

So once again I am that black and white picture,

Devoid of colour but longing for it,

Filled with memories of you.

Hoping someday another would come along,

And bring colour back to my life.
