Black

Black, you are my enemy
 And I cannot get close to thee
 Our life is ruled by enmity
 And I can't weaken that
 The only way that I can see
 Is to hold you close to me
 To love you for it's meant to be
 I weaken your attack
 Everything was lucked and downy
 What was good was up from under
 Until black, that awful tender
 Came and popped my sense of wonder
 All at once all eyes turned at him
 Leaving me an unwatched body
 And it sagged, my body's rib cage
 Out from under ogler's study
 Black was decomposing quickly
 This was found offensive to me
 His disrespect for life's proprieties
 Made me scared he would destroy me
 Black, you are my enemy
 And I cannot get close to thee
 Our life is ruled by enmity
 And I can't weaken that
 The only way that I can see
 Is to hold you close to me
 To love you for it's meant to be
 I weaken your attack
 So I thought I'd try to cut him
 Try to force him 'neath my level
 The only way to equal to him
 Would be hit him with a shovel
 But to really rise above him
 That would be the final evil
 So instead I asked the sucker
 If he'd care to see my rooms
 And as a friend and as a comrade
 And all the things that these implied
 I made him leave what it was that he had
 Used to keep us unallied
 Black, you are my enemy
 And I cannot get close to thee
 Our life is ruled by enmity
 And I can't weaken that
 The only way that I can see
 Is to hold you close to me
 To love you for it's meant to be
 I weaken your attack
 Now black and I we are together
 Fairly just inseparable
 And in the terriblest of weather
 Our bonds are incorruptible
 Black, you are my enemy
 And I cannot get close to thee
 Our life is ruled by enmity
 And I can't weaken that
 The only way that I can see
 Is to hold you close to me
 To love you for it's meant to be
 I weaken your attack
