Me

To my heart,
I long for simplicity.

For my heart,
I long for love.

From my heart,
I hope for commitment.

Within my heart,
I hope for peace.

Around my heart,
I long for protection.

Beneath my heart,
I long for truth.

Above my heart,
I long for faith.

With my heart,
I long for pride.

This is just
Me.

Black

Black, as the dark sky,
no, darker than that.
Black, as the blackest hair,
no, shinier than that.
Black, as the deepest desire,
no, purer than that.

Is it not beautiful?
The very nature of human
that is not tainted, by anyone
My life is filled with black
The very colour that
is despised by many.
Yet not dark, evil or ugly.
It is just
Misunderstood.

Dark Love

Deep down inside

I know its impossible

For him to overlook my appearance.

Deep down inside

I know its impossible

For him to accept me for who I am.

But why?

But why?

Why did he have to stir up emotions

That I'm desperate to avoid?

Why did he have to surface those emotions

That destroy my ignorance?
