The Darkness In Us

The beauty of the moon ever so constant For the love we shed for the night The many reasons we believe ourselves broken For the very lives to live... we have died The very idea of death is humanity Because we all live with an inability to explain Why have dreams when we have reality? Need we the adequacies to be pained? Given light we fail to see We look to the dark to compensate for A cause to can and never be How we yearn for lights in the darkness to call! And forever we love to never admit Refusing in the forever world of acceptance The remaining humanity we accept to keep Haven’t we the light forever kept in distance? A pleasure to say thank you Haven’t we the night to ourselves once more? Day’s a fleeting for nights only you knew Some dark... have you forgotten to live for?
