Black


I seek the rain

I heed its call

I feel its pain

I hear its fall



I fear the sun

And follow the night

I cower far

From any light



They say I’m strange

They say I’m murky

I say they’re fakes

And much to perky



They don’t believe

What they can’t see

They never leave

But only flee



I do not cry

I do not scheme

My eyes are frozen

In silent scream



How can they live

In this world of hate

And still not fear

A sinner’s fate



I do not smile

I always mourn

For those who die

Still full of scorn



My life is clouded

But far from dim

I always fight

But never win



How can you live

And still not know

Once death claims you

Where you shall go?



Don’t get me wrong

I do believe

But still I lament

And still I grieve



I watch them die

I watch them go

And I wonder

Why don’t they know?



I am afraid

Of what I see

But you’re afraid

Afraid of me



I dress in black

The forlorn shade

And I shall wear it

To the grave
