Pretty Colours

A piece of luggage

I often dreampt of pretty colours
Where in the beds we could lay
Were we'd wish away the want of day
Shades of fluttering moods
Lushly spoken weather 
And us forever together
Me and you in our garden
Breezing past with a bless of pardon
A chance for us to grow
To flourish, to spread, how nice it'll be
To touch the clouds, to be free
But when the plants are sent to scatter
We're solemn and alone and left in wonder
In awe and cold, we're left to patter
While skies keep us bright and warm
Under love's nylon cover
The blue transforms, layed down and dorm
No longer will we dream of pretty colours
And lay in the beds beside one another
Where laughter once took range, no love to discover
And petals fade, surrendered to the breeze
Gone are our whispers among the trees
For death has come easily, the silence all but pleas
No longer will we dream of pretty colours
Or lay in the beds beside one another
For you have finally woken up, pulled up the cover
No longer will I dream of pretty colours
