Love Poem: Black and White

Black and White

Awakened, I marvel at what I see 
You were gone, in the middle of the night 
With you, you've taken my heart and soul 
And my world, became black and white 

The roses, were no longer a beautiful red 
And you've stolen the oceans blue 
The grass and trees no longer green 
And my purpose has lost its hue 

Now everyone I see, all look the same 
For the darkness is confused with the light 
And everyone knows, when the sun doesn't shine 
The color disappears in the night 

The flowers have lost their radiant glow 
They no longer take away my breath 
They're now adorned in the color of gray 
For they all wear the color of death 

Without your smile, to brighten the world 
I no longer have a need for my sight 
For I'd rather be blind, in a world without color 
Than to see it in black and white
