Darkness
“Darkness”
by Positive Mark
I lit a candle in the morning, a bit before sunrise, to adorn the darkness once more before day.
I thanked her for her company, and for being my blanket.
I once again begged her to stay.
She’s always saying she’s ugly.
I asked for permission to see her with my own eyes.
I asked her to give me a chance to love her.
I asked if I could have my way with her.
She wrapped me, but once again buried her face to hide her smile.
I whispered reassurance that I don’t wish to blend with the light. I breathe better in her embrace.
She blew out the candle.
We went back to sleep.
When my eyes opened again
she was gone.
