All Shades Fade

I laugh, you smile..

Try to make it all worthwhile.

I look back on the miles,

And wonder if I'm beguiled.

Its a never ending phase,

A never ending maze..

I want to peace myself,

But its all in a haze.

Striving for perfection,

Of a perfect happiness..

But nothing's perfect they say,

Its only a sad mess.

Overlooking each crack in my heart,

Trying to build a wonderwall..

But it all crumbles down to the start.

Only making me stronger with each fall.

The people I met,

The tears I wet..

The memories I made,

All eventually fade

Forever they say,

But never do they mean.

Life isn't permanent,

And death is unseen.
