Past And Present Black And White

It’s late, I’m tired the white has faded away but my mind keeps flickering images of white

I need to learn the struggles of wearing black


I’m a widow I have no white inside, my soul, my heart is trapped in a dark drain covered in black

I need to learn how to be happy and have white in my life again
