The Dark

the dark is so silent
so black and alone.
maybe thats why i feel the safest in there.

no eyes to look at you
or things to distract you.
its just you and your thoughts in the shivering black.

no rules of whats right
or tales of whats wrong.
the dark is forgiving 
and wont ask you why.

your sins cant be seen
and you wont be rewarded.
because its just you in the dark
with your shivering thoughts.
