Black

black
the color of night
close
back to me tonight
the blackness consumes me
because I want to be consumed
the closeness heals me
because i want to be free
head over heals tumbling through my mind
someday the illusive peace I will find
calmness and serenity turn to unrest
my will and my patience are put to the test
feeling what I want, and wanting what I feel
wounds that deep take more time to heal
this is a side of me that few people ever see
they can't see the forest for the trees
desire and fear - locked in continuous conflict
the desire to be free; the fear of being alone - the winner will depict
the person I am to be
regardless of what I feel, I have to be me
