Colorless

by luckly the dorkfish

Our lives are filled with color. It is vibrant, mystical, and beautiful. But in a moment, our lives change and things become grey. Things become so bleak that it feels as if it will swallow you whole. I wrote this poem originally for Sherlock but the reason I put it as a cross over is because it could be for Merlin as well. Could be Merthur/Johnlock but not necessarily.

Waking up isn't what it used to be.
Everything feels so cold and empty.
Life seems meaningless and hollow,
Without my campaign I always followed.

Days have passed and years have gone by.
But I hardly notice without you by my side.
My life once had color but it's now dull and grey.
That person is long gone being left to decay.

Smiles are faked and my eyes have gone stale
My skin is stretched gaunt and I look so frail..
I can't be fixed, the damage is done.
I guess it's over and heartache has won.
