Vickie Hurtt - Thayer Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

Painting by: Vjckie Thayer

Hello Darkness, My Old Friend

My pain, 

Hides among, 

Beautiful darkness,

Betwixt cracks, 

In my smile,

Tears,

Sometimes,  

Fill those cracks,  

And drown the pain,

For awhile,

My old friend,

I call you,

Out again,

Hoping,

You'll never,

Learn to swim,

In pools,

Of...Silence.

(Vickie Thayer) 2018

Silent One September 11, 2018 at 6:39 AM I love that version of the song, it is so powerful... Deep poem also, depression is a very difficult thing.. Vickie Hurtt - Thayer September 11, 2018 at 12:57 PM Yes It Is...Take Care.
