Black and White

What am I trying to write,
all of my words fall short?
Nothing that I say can completely
capture what I'm trying to tell you.
It's capturing a picture in black and white.
You can't tell what the stripes look like.
All you see are the horizontal lines
that go nowhere, and start nowhere.
I would be mad If I were you,
not being able to figure it out,
what I'm trying to say.
I don't know what I'm trying to say.
These colors around me are fading,
soon I'll see what you see.
Black and white. Start and Stop.
