Grey

Darkness dominates every morning
dulling all my days.
A total eclipse dictates light
leaving my life grey.
How long have I been in mourning,
destitute and dazed,
apathetic and disjointed
in this hellish maze?

How could you not see
what you've done to me,
that left this dark malignancy,
permanently staining me,
changing my morality,
and adding to my list of needs
chemical dependencies
filtering all the color from me
till I make myself bleed

Everythings grey.
Where are all the colors and shades?
All the luster seems to have faded away.
There's only pain
to make me feel alive again
self destructive acts that brand me insane.

You use rhyme very effectively. I usually stray away from standard rhyme schemes but you hit it just right.

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
