Black

when you look across the ocean
its the endlessness you see
black is the emptiness
you might find in me
black is the tears you find
when no one else is around
its the blank spot in your mind
makes you fall to the ground
its little children playing 
but then falling
its a mother looking for her child
calling and calling
black is when you dont know where to go
its forgetting many things 
and loosing all hope
its the deep dark hole 
that never ends
the beautiful sunny day
that never begins
black is the sky
when i lay down at night
its the color i see 
when i close my eyes
