Insidious

Close your eyes, 
Let the light flee.
Darkness becomes your world, 
Now try and escape. 
You find a way, 
you’ve found the key. 
Not even the birds could feel as free;
Soaring over the clouds high above, 
Tempted by Icarus’s love. 
Oh the sun is an angry *****, 
Alluring like Gretel’s witch.
Snuffing the light into night; 
Casting out your sight with her plight.
Darkness becomes darker once you’ve seen the light.
