Fade to Grey

The sun shines through the window
with a liquid, melon glow,
mixing with the shadows
as it hums silently.
Forever's broken dreams
are painted on the wall, 
far too colourful
in this early morning light.
I draw the curtain, 
and let the subdued grey
seep across the room
and watch the pictures fade away.
