Getting Darker All the Time On This Ride

It's getting darker

All the time

I sit alone

It's getting darker

With every poem

I try and include

Another a one single person more

You know the score 

No need for or telling you

How stupid and disrespectful of me

Thinking or believing

It's only just poor little me

Who knows

It's getting darker all the time

As you yourself aren't blind either

It's just none of can see

When all the lights have gone out

And we are left

Contemplating and imagining

What is truly going on out there and happening

In the pitch dark journeying on this ride forth

All alone without someone else's

Comforting hand to hold onto
