Black and White

I'm dressed in black,

And now I'm turning black.

Am I becoming physically

What I am emotionally?

Dark,

Like shadows in a closet.

Silently moving,

But unseen.

I'm changing

Slowly.
Parts of my skin are dark.

Only some parts.

But underneath my clothes

I am deadly pale.

It's like the darkness is spreading from my clothes.

Just my hands,

My neck and my face

Looks like a weak black.

Like fading,

Or almost grey.

But there is an undistinguished characteristic

That makes me sure that it is black.

It doesn't matter.

No one notices it.

Only I see it.

It looks like it's creeping its way through me,

Like a shadow

Appearing as I stand still

While the sun is slowly setting.

It appears that part of it seems to be crawling

And dancing,

Like black flames

With white tips.

It starts to influence the world

As the fire spreads

All black and white.

The rain,

The clouds and the sky

On fire.

My favorite line is:

And dancing,
Like black flames
With white tips.

I love the image you painted for us to see with your words! Lovely darling, splendid.

I love this poem, it's deep and detailed creating a clear picture. It's sad, but beautiful.
