Grey

I am the silence to those

That don't understand my

Words,

For I am

Far more complicated

Than my words

Alone.


I am the grey

To an Oregon sky --

Unending and

Left without hope

Of a light.


Yes, The grey.

It has a fascinating

Ring to it

When thinking

Of the bitter

Weeping of the

Firmament.


I long to love

Those I could not

Love enough;

I long to

Extinguish the fears

That I am destined

To be unlovable.


In a memory

I am strong enough

For others to depend on--

In a dream

I am more than

A vacant husk.


I wonder if there

Will be a day

My uselessness

Could define me

No longer --

A day where

The grey wasn't

Stitched into my

Very soul.
