Monochrome

Bleeding moments from tragedy.
Seconds spit I can’t be free.
Twisted solace with a dose of bile.
All events are too much to compile.
With a knife in hand that has a rusted blade.
My mind is beyond frayed.

All the colour faded away.
Monochrome is what surrounds me.
Wish it would change permanently.

Shattered skin wrinkled wrong.
The stab stab digging of a prong.
weathered down my simple mind.
Stripped me back to my rind.
And so I swallow what scorches most.
I hear you deliver a fresh roast.

All the colour faded away.
Monochrome is what surrounds me.
Wish it would change permanently.

For you,
Are my cage in time.
One step up only to be backhanded away.
I vicious cycle that never fails.
To you I am the holiest of grails.
Victim bred and grown in captivity.
Its why there is no colour to see.

All the colour faded away.
Monochrome I find so sickening.
Burn these bonds, heartbeat quickening!
