Shades of Gray

I want him to hold me in his arms,
and promise me he'll never do me harm.
But now it's too late he's gone forever.
He will be back for me the day after never.

Shades of gray surround me,
As far as my tearful eyes could see.
The tears fell hard as I tied the noose,
I checked it twice to make sure it wasn't loose.

He said he cared but then he left me,
WHY? When the pain he could see?
The day when my heart be broke,
I hung myself from a rope.
