black on black
darkened by night
hiding the truth
fleeing the light
running away
from those who would care
pretending to hate
he who lingers there
lying to those
who just want what's best
knowing success
but failing the test
can't help but wonder
how to move on
looking for love
and finding it gone
pleading for hope
yet none can be found
reaching up high
falling hard to the ground
close to the ending
finally near
a sorry goodbye
to those i hold dear
