Unstained

Unstained... I am stained, tainted, my pitch-dark marred,By the impurity of a single, ivory white dot.I long to regain my untouched dusky form,To be purified, restored to my flawless gloom.Forever I yearn to remain, in mind and body,Void of hue, absorbing all light, reflecting none.I blot your spark, from my prestine ebony shadows,For embracing your...
