Life is full of colours-

Vibrant yellows and sordid blues;

Each person has a shade,

Their character matching with the hues.

There is no black.

There is no white.

We're all different- you and I.

Then why is this my plight?

You lend a smile when it suits you-

A smile that lights up my day,

But when I come back for another,

Your eyes tell me to go away.

My 'friends' call me the best-

They say I have earnt their trust

But why is it that when I need them,

They leave me to bite the dust?

There are some I'd called my haven.

Some who claimed to love me most

Yet why do their faces shun me now,

Not with words, but gestures that hurt the most?

I wish to know what went wrong

So my burden might get lighter.

To them, I guess I've faded;

They have found someone brighter

But there's something they've forgetten-

A fact that they've let loose.

Even the brightest fabric fades

After many years of use.
