Monochrome

in this life, there are colours
colours that represent things
red for passion and love
blue for calmness and coldness

green for nature
yellow for prosperity
purple for elegance
pink for loveliness

black for sorrow
white for blankness
grey for unstability
and so on

this life is colourful
and every life has different colours
and each life's colour controls the life
showing the life, telling the tale

i don't know who you are
and i will never know who you are
but there's one thing i know for sure
my life, you painted it

i don't care who you are
and i don't care who you are
but there's one thing i cared
that you remained colouring my life

you may not be one
but to me, you coloured my life
you're an artist
just what i need to colour my life

my life as the blank canvas
you as the artist
your love as the paints
and time as the brush

before one day
the storm came
and spilled the paint
making the canvas wet
wet with just one colour

the last time i saw you
under the rain, under the storm
you didn't say anything
just looking away
without knowing what's on

i was standing far behind you
with a handful of flowers in my hand
red, yellow, pink, white
how colourful they are

something went in front of me
going past me very quickly
splashing the water onto my face
blinded me for a while

in this life, there are colours
colours that represent things
and every life has different colours
showing the life, telling the tale

before one day
the storm came
and spilled the paint
making the canvas wet
wet with just one colour

why did you disappear?
how come?
when i opened my eyes
where are you?

it rained heavier
with drops of water piercing my body
the pain getting into my body mercilessly
piercing my heart

my life as the blank canvas
you as the artist
your love as the paints
and time as the brush

now you're gone
the artist and the paints
leaving the brush useless
and the blank canvas

everything looked dull
without you colouring my life
this monochromatic world
you can no longer colour it

why?
why am i left alone?
in this dull monochrome world?
just me alone?

    Can you set this to music, make a demo?
