As Black as Night

I had to do what was needed

So i grabbed the knife as he pleaded

Let this be a lesson to all

I won't catch you when you fall

As he screamed out in fear

I said one simple statement in his ear

'hurt me not

this simple plot

I must be

untouched to see'

So he asked me

What is as black as night?

I said it is simple, see

my heart is.
