I Want It Darker

There was a dim light But I want it darker still A fading… alike into ever night Just so I wouldn’t see but feel I draw comfort from that dark To barely see… to only hear The beating of one’s heart To be afraid of and no more to fear I let the dark envelop what I see The last of light… I watch diminish Did I feel what I cannot be? My seen life… did I relish? I wanted to go in deeper And perhaps I did just that I did not want to leave sooner In an encompassing dark… I am glad It was a fading into the night But wasn’t dark enough still Dimmer becomes the fading light Just so to nevermore see, I’ll feel
