What is black?

Cold.
Tired.
Sick.
Black is loneliness.

Air.
Oxygen.
Breath.
Black is keeping you alive.

Invisible.
Gone.
Ghost.
Black is all that is left.

Silent.
Misread.
Lost.
Black is waiting for you.

Disregarded.
Forgotten.
Abandoned.
Black is me.

Mistaken.
Shadowed.
Lied.
Black is you.

Here.
There.
Everywhere.
Black is everyone.

Day.
Night.
Anytime.
Black is forever.

Run.
Hide.
Cry.
Black is inevitable.

Black is lurching,
Waiting to strike.
Black is your worst nightmare,
Come to life.

Black is unstoppable.
