Gloom

It was the colour i was looking for all my life
the perfect blue,
cool, controlled and smooth,
a blue i wanted to own.
a blue thats serene, rare, and full of hope
and vast as the ocean.
A blue that promised never to fade..

But as years passsed
the colour slowly faded.
From the cool blue to a washed out pale blue.
A blue i didn't like. Never did.
And today it stands grey.
A grey that's dark and murky
bleak and bored.
A grey of regret.
Like a bad stain, that wont go away.
