A Darker Shade of Black

My best friend is artistic.
She spends her day submersed within
The hidden world in her head.
My best friend is artistic.
She talks about dreams and colour themes,
And most of the time I have no idea,
What she's talking about.
My best friend is artistic.
Her thoughts are so abstract
She has to explain them to me,
Over and over.
But even though my best friend is artistic,
Her hair is always messy,
Her smile is crooked,
And her tongue is sharp as nails.

She dresses in black, her hair is dark, her eyes are deep.
My best friend is artistic,
But for someone whose mind is forever saturated in colour,
She certianly can't see the white for the black.
