Technicolor Nightmare

By FadedBlues

Dreams occur in black & white.
Rainbows of nightmares highlite the fright.

Vivid visions of livid collisions.
Concepted remains of tainted refrains.

Cash in on the passion for fashion.
& faster we master the scope of disaster.

All hope is distorted when love is aborted.
The truth that we seek is faceless & bleak.

A dreadful decision that made your incision.
A rollercoaster ride to your suicide.

                 And this is the cost:
                 Everything is lost.
                 And Nothing is the power
                 We hold like gold.

    This was a good public service message to anyone considering suicide I think, summed up nicely in the last stanza. Probably the pepperonis, cheers and thanks for posting.
