Man In Black
If I were the man whom I desire
I would shift mountains; beneath mine feat
(Where no one else, but monks seek to retire)
But lost in vain; I cringe defeat
As I am the man who burns in the rain
From long sleepless nights,
Of frustration and shallow pain
Disguised in the presence of plain sights
I continue to walk in the burdened hell
Where chains of rust hold me back
(Heaving with might, I quickly fell)
For I am the man in black
