Love in the Gray

I kiss you but my lips are numb
My heart sings no more song
Has the love story ended
that has played for so long?
My hand in yours
but I can't feel you there
I never really see you
even though you're there
When I look into your eyes
the colors aren't as fair
They used to be vivid
I lost myself in the stare
I penned you  poems
wove my love into rhyme
but now, the song has stopped
and no words come to mind.
