I am Black

I am Black

By Allison

I am Black

I am the night sky

Distant, cold

Smooth like velvet, beautiful forever

Immortal, like a dead rose

Elegant and mysterious of the flight of the raven

Alone and weeping

As the darkness upon a grave

The only thing that cries upon a grave

All have gone, all is lost

Misunderstood, like the cloak of death

Truly the symbol of eternity

Aristocratic, classy always

Rageful, yet longing for warmth, love

Unforgiven, bitter

I am the storming winds that blow

Forever in sleep, but I do not rest

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep

I am Black...
