Colour Me Black

Colour me Black

Colour me black,

For days dark and void.

Colour me black,

In the depths I crawl

No hope, no feelings

Numbness surrounds.

Black velvet on white satin sheets,

A heart turned grey

In shattered hopes and dreams.

Where is the sun?

In shadows now I hide

Don't touch me or speak

In silence I am bound.

Colour me black,

The cold hard to bare

Shattered loves and broken hearts,

No feelings left to spare.

Where is the world that I belong?

Amongst the ruins of my heart

Grey stone, white moon,

The droplets from an eye.

Beware, take care

Anger I cannot hide.

Lost and cheated in hell I roam,

This world so bare

I cannot call my own.

Mocking laughs and aching smiles

Eyes that see all

Yet nothing stays the same

Cobwebs clinging to an empty cave.

Super-heroes of love and war

But who do they really save?

Colour me black,

For days gone by

For rivers flown

The seas I've cried.

A gaping hole

A yawning mouth

Colours fade from north to south.

Colour me black,

The beast is near

His heart beat I can hear

With open arms I call him near

And in his darkness,

I disappear...........
