Black and Blue

Out of the blue came the black, 
Shattering the skies with a terrible crack,
But what is gold if one can't enjoy it?
But what is black if it breeds on the tormented?
Can black breed on a soul that was tormented long ago?
Surrounded by the true vultures and an innocent soul.

This hell is mine of this I'm sure, 
But when I look in the mirror I don't see pure.
I have no time for anger, I have no time for blame.
Ash to ash, dust to dust,
We all become the same.

"Can black breed on a soul that was tormented long ago?" Black or evil can breed on any soul. It is easier to feed on those that are already lost. Those following the light, not an easy task- unless they willfully give in. ~ Brandy
