[bodytext] => I’ve yet to find it’s colour But it surely isn’t black Maybe a steely, monotone grey Defines this beaten track It has too many elements, Too complex to be dark Not when it rears it head And stands here plain and stark And how could I claim That it’s become a raven shade Even while I’m rendered futile While it’s pushing to invade And while the deepest ebony Was what I made my hair In those times I when was feigning Such a meaningless despair, It just can’t be obsidian For my hair is back to brown. That’s not a colour with such depth That one can almost drown It becomes so compulsive But onyx it is not Its place within the spectrum Seems to be a nameless spot Though when morose and stricken I examine what I lack, Its shade is most elusive But it surely isn’t black.
