Rich Black

When you seek a smile
And all you get is a frown
When you wait all night
Hoping to see another dawn
When you hear silence
When people talk
When you try to hold on
Before yet another
Inevitable fall
When you feel desperate
Seeking to run out of town
Far away from it all
When you are lifeless and dull
surrounded by too many fools
pulling you down
When all you can feel is
A stabbing pain through
The spine all the way up
to the skull
That's when you remember
The name of the fucking
Guy with rich black eyes
Smiling, sitting next to you
With a pointed tail wrapped
Around the barstool
