Black from White

my soul sits and waits in refrain

Conjuring up the worst for thee.

A wick extinguished, wisps smoke

In the black void, where a flame should be.

No ease comes for my misery.

Still, I hope change will come to me.

As my mind persists in darkest night,

Feeling certain there no need for light,

My light flicked black from white.

Best wishes I wish I could give for free,

As my soul sits and waits in refrain

Waiting for my mind, the stubborn stain.

To learn to forgive, to lessen my pain.
