Black & White

No sun or moon nor stars that shine
Just misery like black blanket wrapped
Bitterly cold wind howling past
It chills me to the bone

The wind my voice snatches away
Not a soul can hear me scream
The tears that from my eyes fall
Freeze before they reach my chin

My heart that normally thumps so loud
Within my breast is almost still
How much longer can I this endure
Before I'll cease to be

Just beyond the length of arm's reach
The birds in sunshine sing
Lovers walk hand in hand
But you're not here with me

So on I'll go condemned to this
In a world of black and white
Maybe, someday, somehow
Something will break on through

About this poem:
