A SHADE OF YOU

I've been way too long in the darkness,
In the abyss of death, terror and so much unhappiness.
Light, even a spark is a chimera.
How come I was born in this despicable miasma?

My eyes were wide open to the disarray of my environment.
And my poor wounded and scarred heart's fed up from imprisonment.
Oh this wretched situation I am in,
When will I be free from this annihilating den?

I've been praying for so long,
That someday I will have someone to belong.
But I've got no one to turn to, no one to trust.
For this place is nothing but gloom, shabby remains and dusts.

And then I saw a grayish hue,
I tried to blink from astonishment, but it won't go.
I've been dreaming of this for some times,
But anticipation for me is a crime.

I tried to block from my mind that growing tint.
Afraid that it might not be real nor a hint.
That a forthcoming change in my life is near,
For rejection, rebuff and others of that ilk, is what I've always feared.

But the gray I saw glowed and spread,
Shading my dim world with a hint of something red.
I was dumbfounded to everything I could see.
But still the change is an enigma to me.

Now my life's changed at full pelt.
I am ecstatic, pleasured and confident up to the hilt.
For that hue that shaded my life in different colors,
Is the YOU that's been missing in my life before..
