Shades Of Grey

Every time I looked at you, colors will appear

So beautiful that towards the end I ended up with fear

Looking at you now and my sight is not clear

Try to see closer but you weren't very near

Try to move on but you were always in my way

Once full of color, now my heart is shades of grey

Hearing you sound so gentle, so smart

There once was a time that you were a work of art

I was dark as night 

You were bright as day

Once full of color, now look who's finally shades of grey 

Looking at me, time to time me popping in your mind 

Everyday my sight got clearer until you became blind.
