    Stick to you're theme of colours - In fact you could write an entire poem about how seperate parts of someone's personality made your life technicolour.

    Blue - their sadness

    Black - their anger

    Pink - their love

    You get it? I think you've got something good here

    What you have is a couplet, a pair of lines...it would only be a stanza if each stanza only contained two lines. In any event, what you have is the concept for a poem or a good one-liner...an epigraph (not to be confused with "epitaph"). If you want to "clean it up", this is how it should look:

    "With you, I was the colors of the rainbow; without you here, it all fades to black."

    If you want to continue on with the poem you'll need to make a decision: will additional words improve the image you've already created? I think the answer is probably "no". Why? because those two lines pretty much say it all, and any additional lines would probably just dilute the idea and spoil the clarity and simplicity of the image. Sometimes poems are just what you've written...Haiku's are three lines, a total of 17 syllables (5-7-5), yet the famous ones have lived on for hundreds of years. The entire point of poetry is to say as much as you can with as little as you need...and I really think you've said it just about as clearly as possible already.

    Your call...but that's how I see it.
