Summary: Just a short one, as an exercise




Black is the colour of headstones
Dark as the night in the day.
With a shiny polished surface
Striving so hard to say

In death what she wished she had said
While her lover was flesh and bone.
And her shiver’s as cold as granite
As she sees the reflection’s her own
