Black

Black can be dull, mat or shiny.
It reminds me of the night time.
Black is dark and cold, like lonely tough times.
Black is quiet, silent, it makes no sound.
And for some, it's all they've grown up around.
Black sounds like a punch,
silent, lurking, your skull in a crunch.
Black smells like burning, like smoke, like blood.
danger, fear and all false hope.
Black tastes like bitter revenge,
like hatred, like blood, like a war that never ends.
Black feels rough, black feels hard,
Black feels harsh like a beer bottle shard.
