I decided on a rose-colored day

That I would no longer be this way

But life’s mysteries held such sway

I couldn’t decide to run away

I met her on a unique day

Forgot her again with no dismay

Met another during a delay

All I see are shades of grey

The choice landed quick and sly

It sounded like a lullaby

But I only started to cry

Because I chose to try

It was a simple little lie

A lie that gave such a high

Myself I didn’t have to die

I need only try to survive
