Shades of you

You smile at me,
Your eyes lit up,
They are alive,
From the portrait
You look so bright,
You bloom in full color,
From my side
Reality is black and white.

I can't believe
You are no more,
I'm still waiting
For you to come.

And tell me

Why?
Tell me, why?
Why did you choose
To walk so close to the edge.

Why?
Tell me, why?
Can't you see the world
Is full of love and wonder.
Can't you feel our love,
Is enraptured.

I'm missing you.

Your smile fades
And the world shades
Into a pool of darkness,
A blur of blue,
I can still see you,
You fade behind a curtain
Of tears and sadness.

I can't believe
You are no more,
I'm still waiting
For you to come

And tell me

Why?
Tell me, why? 

Why did you decide
To cut your ties
When life was in full bloom?

Why?
Tell me, why?
Life was young and full of wonder,
The spring of youth was uprooted,
A withering flower
Is left to mark your tomb.

I'm left behind,
I'm missing the answer,
But above all,
I'm missing you.

A withering flower,
The wind is blowing in my eyes
And I'm missing you.
