Black
Black is the hue that colors my night.
Grey is the quarter, I can never see the light.
Through a thick emerald emulsion,
I am forever wading.
The emerald covers the earth absolutely
I cannot escape
So I just wade through the refuse
and doubt that weights heavily upon my shoulders
Fighting ,resisting and finally ,
loosing the battle to be swallowed up.
The curse that forever takes control of my body
I have no will, I can not fight the poison
that flows through my heated veins.
I can not quench this desire
only submit . till the poison
again needs to be released.
