Black

It is the color I saw when he hit me

When the blood on my wrists would dry,

He wouldn't even calm me,

He'd simply tell me not to cry.

It's the color of the marks he'd leave

Sometimes purple too,

When those blue eyes would look at me

I'd dumbly say, "I love you".

But be careful my dear,

Because in certain lighting,

One might mistake fear

For an awful dirty brown.

Or a dangerous, sinful... Black.
