Grow me a garden of roses,
A haven for the memories no longer held together
          By string and tape;
Lets play some morbid game they played,
Together in our garden of life.   


Not anymore, in this painted world
There’s no blues or greens nor reds,
I see.. oh do I see..
Fade to black, fade to white..
Swirl me a grey.


A choice to make, a death this day,
Excuse me, that boy, do you know why he died?
         He surely saw in a pristine white,
Yet found himself smothered in shadow.
Morbid games, slight chances never taken,
         You see what happens when you don’t
clasp them close?

No, nevermore in this painted land
Nary a yellow or thatched purple
Do you see, oh do you see..?
Faded to black, faded to white,
Life swirled me a grey.


What happened to those days ago,
        Sun filled days of languid laughter
Replaced instead by an eclipse of light.
Where'd our long lost light go?
Fled mayhap in face of sorrow,
        Or mayhap for fear of losing heart
                  Can you mayhap say why?
Where'd all the Color go?

Very strong. It is written wonderfully, the italic inlays fit right in with no trouble, and the idea itself was really amazing. Fantastic work.
