A Small Grey Mouse

Another grey morning turns

into another grey day

all the colours in my life have left

but grey has decided to stay.

I look into the mirror

and a grey reflection

stares back at me

its eyes are dead and filled

with the knowledge

he will never be free.

Loneliness and emptiness

have taken over my soul

after a long battle I surrendered

and gave away control.

Now I am held prisoner

in my own grey house

where my only companion

is a small grey mouse.
