I was cleaning my room the other day, and I found some old notebooks I used to keep. Not like a diary; there's none of this "Today I fucked someone at school" shit, just notebooks and notebooks full of poems, short stories, anything and everything.

And I found this:

Grey.
The sky overhead
The schoolboys uniform as he cries
Business suits thrown to the floor
(while the lawyer and)
(and the witness)
(make love)

Grey
Black and white photographs
(of loves long past)
(of broken hearts)

And grey
My mood for today
While the sky and the schoolboy cry
While the lawyer and the witness
fuck
While the old flames die
I am.
Grey.


So that's it ^^ Exactly as it was written on a torn out piece of refill.
Comments and criticism appreciated.

Hmm. I like it the way it is, but I think I would add a few "as"s in there. You know, like this -

Grey.
As the sky overhead
As the schoolboys uniform as he cries
As the business suits thrown to the floor

Because (well to me at least) it sounds like the whole poem is describing what doesn't come to the end, the whole thing isn't really talking about the sky and the clothes because of them specifically, you're saying that your mood is grey as they are.

I see what you mean. It'd probably make more sense that way xD
Thanks for your input =D
