Life was never explained in simple words

No hellos and goodbyes

Areas of grey

That was life 

It was uncertainty 

The color blue 

That was life 

A hue that had too much to do

It was complex, yet simple 

It was love with sprinkles of hate 

Taking the good and the bad 

Wrapping it in doubt and desire 

Sending it off with a smile 

These were the moments that define us 

The ones that make us whole 

We are mere dust 

Searching for a place to call home
