the gray twilight ocean
We are not one
For gray wants to take over me
As I drift in the ocean
As twilight is falling upon us
For the break of twilight
Never could I resist
stars pierce through the woven sky
Grey will soon rise
And cycles never forgets
If I could just tear through this shade
If I could just break into twilight
So I tried to break
For twilight
For gray
I can no longer break into twilight
But it will visit me when quietness falls
Finally
I can be happy
As cycles continue
Like a never ending battle
Smiles and tears are smearing gray
Slowly, melted away
Where I tried to stay
And met oceans
And met gray
This cycle is nothing but a machine
But the twilight forgot
When night falls
Colors are nothing to me, but gray
The color became merely a smear of white
Secrets exposed, promises broken
And I tried so hard to fall into twilight again
I saw ocean
I fell and fell
Over gray
Over twilight
The ocean is…beautiful
With colours I want to see
Is this the end of gray
Or just twilight after all?
With so much colours now
I wonder how’s gray
I wonder how’s twilight
I cannot leave
Not for twilight
Not for gray
This might become where I live
Makes me rethink of gray
As I open my eyes to see
The pearly white gates.
