Black

Black is alive
A moonless night
No stars in sight

Black is the emptiness in my heart
I cannot control it, for it controls me
Like a shroud of mystery

For what am I if not black?
There will never be a sunrise
I can no longer compromise

The blackness that consumes me also nurtures
For misery is one of my greatest virtues

Right now a black memory calls
I can say no more
I'm fearful of withdrawals

For now, I must digress
Black is alive
It will never rest
