The Woman In Black
THE WOMAN IN BLACK
The lady in black is my worst nightmare
She comes to me in daylight when I am not aware
She has an affair with everyman
But yet she comes to my life and leaves with great despair
She loves me
And I am afraid I will never love her back
She visits me often when I least expect it
I have great hate for her
But I don’t know how to express it
When I’m enjoying my sleep
She wakes me up to reality just to see me weep
She pushes me in a pool of tears just to see me sink
And rapes my mind so that I don’t think
Her name is sorrow
And she promised that she will see me tomorrow
She never breaks her promises
She lives by her words
I have tried hiding in many places
She keeps finding me and defying me
A chance of trying to escape her miseries
Someone please help me, I can’t take it no more
