Go Away

By rmerwin

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Grey It was always grey and so were you You cared so little but meant so much The time between us each tender touch had slipped between your fingers passed right through your brain and all the love I'd given you had all been love in vain Wasted It was always wasted and so were you Like the whisper of a mother to a sleeping child who gently sighs fast asleep life passed through you with good intention and you never knew "I" passed through you and you never even knew Wasted and grey is what you've become and I am becoming like you A wasted grey and sensless existence is all you've left us to Go away.
