The Colors Of My Heart

My heart is a maze where no one can find

The underlying secrets of deep feelings inside.

The colors of my heart, the rainbow lying deep,

Never shines as bright as the hues you think you see.

The black that fills my lungs with it suffocating air,

Full of sorrow, lost hope, and nothing but despair.

The tears of gray that cloud my misty eyes

Spill down my cheek with profound despise

Of broken promises and fraud filled lies

That no one seems to compromise.

Green's the pang of jealousy my heart throbs with at times

And as the flames begin to fire,

My tattered heart and deep bruised soul

Are taunted with desire.

My fury blinds me and takes control; red is all I see,

Chains that hold me down as I try desperately to break free.

I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders;

Loneliness consumes me.

Shades of blue make me feel so alone in this world

Out of place with the people; out of place either or.

I stand in my corner, all alone in the dark

My heart's ripped to shreds, already broken apart.

But the faint light in the distance

Seems to grow smaller and smaller each day.

The pieces left of my happy heart are being blown away,

Who will save me? Who is there?

Happiness in the barren land of my heart is rare.

Diminished are the pennies of gold at the end of the rainbow;

The bright hues that used to beam are now shadows.
