Black As My Heart

By Deana Contaste

My heart is locked up inside with so much pain

Without anything to explain

As i grew older, people's hearts grew colder and colder

Without any order

I find myself in solitude

Without anything to lose

My soul is forever not glistening

Without anyone listening

How many lifetimes does it take?

Before i break

Before i threw myself in a lake

I always wonder about my life

because it's full of strife

Enough to take a life

My afterlife is full of black

making myself lose track

My existence is full of loss

without a toss

i wonder the world in a dress full of black

Black as the night sky

Beneath a lie

Black as my soul

it's taking a toll

Revealing myself in the dark

Black as my heart
