Dear Black,

Why are you so sad
 
You fit in with Winter
And you’re beautiful, I might add
 
Some relate you to sadness
But that’s where they’re wrong
 
You’re the colour of night
Illuminated by stars
 
You’re the accompanist of white
And you play as you are
You’re a gleeful person
As their fingers hit the keys
 
Of a broken piano
That’s been left out to freeze
 
Darling black
You don’t have to wear a frown
 
Because I know something
And I hear your somber sound
 
You are midnight
Where the people hold their hands
 
And look at the sky
When they feel they don’t fit in
 
There’s a certain emotion
When I look in your eyes
 
You’re an ocean
And my tears when they dry
 
You’re beautiful
And I don’t understand
 
How you come from the sunlight
That shines on the sand
 
You’re a shadow
Dark and cool
 
But sometimes
We mistake you as cruel
 
So, my black
Why are you so sad
 
When you’re everything beautiful
And never something bad
