Introduction

For this, I have to write a metaphor, which makes me sad.

The music is "Darklands" by The Golden Palominos

What I Didn't Say II

♣️⬛🖤⚫♠️

I Was Never A Member Of Your Club

♣️

Rumours Were Spread, And Believed

I Could Not Refute

🖤

There's No Smoke Without Fire

Like A Great Referee, I Am A Ghost

♠️

But I Make Mistakes

♣️

When Things Go Wrong, I am The One To Blame

That Is The Only Use You Seem To Have for Me

🖤

But Day After Day I am Not There

I Am A Ghost

♠️

And Ghosts Disappear

♣️

Eventually

♣️⬛🖤⚫♠️
