Black words

Black words
that mean nothing at all
cushioning teardrops
that break the fall

black words
you've said once too much
too quick to forgive
what's the rush?

black words
unjust alibis
i know more than you
i don't see just through my eyes

black words
mean nothing
mean everything
and mean anything

black words
may describe who i am:
release my secrets
but nothing else can

black words
frightened all others
black; just black
no other colors
