C'est la Vie
whites get stained
 blacks fade away
 time fixes nothing
 news a one time thing
 
 old’s a different shade of grey
 and honey, at present
 I’m ever so oddly couleured grey
 
 and the past,
 looking back
 it must have been painted in hazed ben gay
 the dots, those dreams-
 
 but that’s too much structure
 for this chaotic spread
 bitter hatred, the sole couleur
 trapped in my head
 
 in a polyscope of brilliant hues
 i found ease in waving,
 au revoir à vous
 
 bitter disappointment though,
 i discovered, then found
 you’re too deep
 to let the surgeon throw-
 
 you both knew how I felt
 before it was exicuted up on that rack,
 that heart lay down on my sleeve
 with no justice nor honor to stab me in the back
 
 you both had knives, 
 thrown through, chest wide open
 that shirt, my trust
 stained and faded away
 
 regret mingled 
 with passive distain
 
 can hope be black?
 if it encompasses all
 or is the thereof, lack?
 
 perhaps
 
 but time still wastes away, 
 this pointed finger, drawn of dismay
 as you ignore, everything I don’t say
 you devour each other-
 making love on my fort sumtner
 
 such is the game you play
 
 c’est la vie
