[Just Words/ All lies]
I'm black and white;
Colourless
Just a blank page of
Nothingness
For you've stolen my
beautiful colours and
shades
With your heartless
eraser
And now my colours
are absent
My elegant greens
My cheery yellows
Everything
And now I'm lost within
my nothingness
For you've erased everything
that I loved,
When you walked off with my
rainbow
Leaving my blue sky grey
Leaving my red heart blue
When you
Stole my soul
And its colours
And replaced them
with broken ones,
That the angel inside
of me can't adjoin
For they're Flaming Reds
Saddening Blues
and Lonely Greys
That are colouring the
insides of my colourless
body
That you, The painter, Erased
As you sent me off on my
blank journey,
To find myself
When I can't even visualize
it
For I'm as blank as a book
leaf because of you
For you've erased the pencil
marks that we scribed
As we made plans for a
matrimonial life,
That's now terminated
by your eraser
For you walked down
the aisle
Away from me
When my family, friends
and well wishers were
watching
With no thoughts in your
mind about how I must've
felt
When you existed the aisle
With a blue tear falling from
my eye,
And the diamond ring that I
bought glistening on the floor
But you didn't even notice my
heart bleeding at all
With the blood of our love
As you walked away from our
vows
For I thought that you were
going to immortalise yourself
at my side,
But they were all lies.
