The Darkness

Contributed by Goebelclm73 on Wednesday, 11th June 2003 @ 12:05:00 PM in AEST
Topic: fantasy



It comes in so quickly, night time is its domain.
So, with your head and heart it plays a lonesome game.

When no one is around, it'll take you by surprise;
It's everywhere you are, until the sun starts to rise.

Often it's very cold, sending chills across your skin;
Tighter you hug the blankets, this battle you can not win.

It's dampness consumes you, moist upon your face;
Closing your eyes doesn’t help, this memory you can’t erase.

You’ve felt this all before and dreaded the moments edge;
You’ve promised yourself no more, it was a personal pledge.

But, night after night all is still the same;
Your cold breath in the air, the darkness wins again.
