"Gray (2)"

©1992 Shawn Kendrick Hall

not black not white but inbetween
for that which is, is not oft seen
and images often are more than their name
for that which is hidden is not always for shame
.
an answer unspoken, a word never said
and nothing to appease me, nor the thoughts in my head
my desires unfulfilled, and my fantasy broken
my chastity spoiled, and her love never spoken
.
a word if she said it would justify my heart
but in her silence she tears me apart
another forsaken, another one down
a smile for love, and for loneliness - frown
.
my heart knows what it wants, when it's offered to me
but my mind desires something that I know couldn't be
and the innocent object, of my sensual desire
is buried within me, in hiding and mired
.
and this ones for darkness, no not black nor white
but all of those things we could have had tonight
