Blackness Poem by Brittany Nickerson

Black is for darkness
that allow me to begin
this intense lack of holiness
carves my mind with sin

White is for our love
the only color between me and you
the color of the dove
the color of our innocent love

Red is for this bleeding heart
smashed into two pieces
one piece of my hate
and one of my sorrow

Silver is the color of this blade
cuts through my wrist fast and swift
as I laid here and died
my last thought was him....my love
