"Black Smoke"

Black smoke in your eyes,
tells me you're no longer there.
Like you can't really see me,
and you don't really care.

I ask you many questions,
and I get no response.
It's like with all your answers,
my curiosity you taunt.

I want to be in your gloomy dim world,
of mystery and curses.
Where your art is exemplary,
and inspiration your service.

You hold me at arms length,
and never any closer.
And when you do embrace me,
could it be any looser?

I don't understand,
and feel myself start to wither.
Because the thought of you gone,
makes me do nothing but shiver.

I get that you're angry,
and there's a storm brewing inside.
But I could be your everything,
and this you deny.

You live in your mind's island,
away from it all.
And there you keep to yourself,
behind a great wall.

I'm here for you dark stranger,
and forever always be.
So let me into your dark world,
and allow me to love you completely.
