Blackness

I have a dark side to my sunny smiles

This rose has thorns, this car has miles

I polish my glass to shine for the world

But underneath my blackness is unfurled

See, underneath there are sticky stains

That like to pour vinegar on all my pains

For my dark side haunts me and tells

Me that nowhere my heart safely dwells

Some days I gather up every weary bone

And think to myself, it’s good to be alone

The darkness is strong enough to swallow

Anyone who would dare to follow
