Grey

You lingered for some reason here
And stared into the fire
Would you like to take a moment now,
A question or desire?

But I opened up my heart of hearts
Broken at the core
And you've given me a gilded mirror
Will you tell me what it's for?

Say it--
Please don't look that way
Can't you forgive
Anything I say?
Why can't you just
See it for shades of grey...

Crack upon the glassy pane
That bleeds a silver light
You say that you will look with me
But you're afraid of the sight.

Sutures and a scar remain
Of all you held on to
You were reaching for a shard of heart
But you couldn't still cut through

Say it--
Please don't look this way
Could I forgive
Anything you say?
Why can't you just
Leave me my shades of grey?

Mist and fog I flew so high
I see it now, drowning in sky
So I know now
What goes up crashes down...

Say it--
Please don't look away
Can I forgive
Anything I say?
Why shouldn't I
Color in shades of grey.
Take what you want from it, it pretty much speaks for itself.
