Colorless

The everstill strings of gold

beneath my hometown rest

interwoven in our childhoods

like daydreams of prosperity

 

We sense no vibrations

or any form of movement

every color drained to bottom

observed through my grey eyes

 

The dullness hovers above roofs

in mistlike shape invades chimneys

pillages toys and candy stashes

makes you forget about everything

 

Something's rotten beneath my hometown

it injects hate inside our nature

makes us think we have no value

shuts us out from human warmth

 

Though a timeline must exist

where my eyes are daylit skies

to feel the awoken harmonies

restoring colors of our hopes

Nostalgic, depressive yet not hopeless. Awesome piece! :D
