My heart is black
And my blood a stagnant grey
I can not love for my emotions have been cast away
Darkness has become my light
Mildews, rusts and smuts blight and decay the seeds that are my essence
In a realm of shadows I will keep my presence
Upon a faded balcony the reaper watches my every move
Calculating the words to seduce me to his keep
Forever knowing that my heart is black and forever knowing he will always seek.
