Darkness
The light of the world breaks in.
It brings death to my song.
I search for the shadows so my heart can cower.
I try to elude disicovering the truth, light, and life.
Still, the light always finds me as I search for dark.
Darkness is my only companion.
In the dark everything seems normal and real.
There no one can see my pain or my fear.
If only the entire world was darkness
Only then could I be free.
In the darkness no one can see
The horrors of my light.
My face is in disguise.
The shadows flash against the walls.
There, all things are free.
I do not have to face myself.
The darkness covers the pain.
Why can all the world not be cast in darkness?
