Hello Darkness

Hello darkness...you're not my friend.
You're always lurking...around the bend.
You flash your smile...and you pretend.
That you're my deepest...darkest friend.
You fill my days & haunt my nights.
Blocking any glimpse of light.
Sometimes I'm barely holding on.
Is it really darkest before the dawn?
I’d hold the towel tight & not throw it in. 
As I wait for light to filter in
If only....I knew when that would begin.
