Black

Black is the eerie darkness
of an empty soul.
It is a screaming nightmare
that unfolds.
Black is the dark void hole
in the light of the day.
It is the symbol of death
and dismay.
Black is the
shade of the night.
It is the shadow
of ourselves.
Black is the blood curdling scream
and the power of destruction.
Black is the hand in the darkness,
Waiting to take you away.
