Memories of Black and White, Caked in Blue Eye Shadow

As I am sitting here so lonely
With only my thoughts with me

All that remains are my memories

 

But they all seem so placid

So plain and dull

Even the fun times, not worth remembering

 

As I sit here replaying my life

Finally it dawns, there is no color

They are displayed in black and white

 

In this life that is about to leave me

I try to find something to cherish

But none of it seems worth while

 

What is worth while about a colorless life

Not even the red blood shows

From my pitiful self harm

 

I wonder how it can be so barren

But as I stare I feel emotion

And I soon begin to cry

 

I go to wipe away the tears

And I see something on my finger

Something that is most unusual

 

I look to figure what this might be

My hand seems odd, with vibrancy added

It appears to be the color blue

 

All these emotions playing out

So many I have fealt in my time

Yet none of them bring me color

 

So why this, why now, at the end

Is someone finally trying to help

Finally caring and loving for me

 

As I bury my face in my hands

I start to weep harder

I expect to see a plethera of blue

 

But when I look, only two small spots

[with a few streaks]

I wonder how this can be

 

I look closer now at my memories

At the vivid images playing before me

And finally, I notice some color

 

It was never the emotion

Nothing that I personally fealt

But simply a fashion statement

 

A thick layer of blue eye shadow

Prompt#1 Beautifully Scarred

I hope you enjoy, it took me a second to think, and I had to play with the wording a little, but I am satisfied.

    A clever and creative work with the title prompt. This captivates from the beginning, causes curiousity to mount until the ending comes with a surprise. One can only sit back and say that was very well done. Thank you for entering.
