A shade of grey.

it flashed.
across my mind.
not white, not black.
nor a simple color that i would want to remember.
but a shade of grey.

when the worlds they collide.
the people who breathe.
not white not black.
not a simple color that i would want to remember.
but a shade of grey.

a mother who scolds
a child who screams.
not white not black.
not a simple color that i would want to remember.
but a shade of grey.

a kiss on the cheek.
a little peek.
not white not black.
not a simple color that i would want to remember.
but a shade of grey.

silence that grows.
sadness which fills.
not white not black.
not a simple color that i would want to remember.
but a shade of grey.
