my days are usually coloured. 
yellows and pinks, dark blues, greens and reds.

but then there are times when the colour saps away
and it leaves my day
in greys, blacks and whites.

a black hole opens up in my chest where my heart used to be 

and i cant feel 

if you ask if i was sad id tell you i dont know
if you ask if i was happy id tell i dont know 
if you ask if theres anything you can do

this time ill tell u no

because ive tried to colour back my world 
so many times that
ive run out of colour pencils 

ill just sleep and pray that
tomorrow's 
coloured 
in.
