Black Ink

Black Ink

You are my black ink—
the one I used so many times,
yet not enough to leave behind.

You are my black ink,
the one which bleeds
through my pen,
through my eyes,
and I cover it up with lies,
calling it just...
“My mascara’s melting, guys.”

You are my black ink,
the one I choose over blue,
and paint my blue sky
in black billows.​
