You Can'T Hide In the Dark

INVISIBLE to the human eye,
    r u s h i n g  forward into the dim,
murky during dusk...
              night has come and gone.

         into deep  o b s c u r i t y and
within the depths of fright,
she longs for comfort and
                 righteousness. 
but...
NO ONE can save her from...
                                 this sin. 

gloom and doom,
       rush of a fever down her spine-
sanctity of REMORSE, 
as she wanders through the
         t e m p t a t i o n. 

disregarding all who love her, 
         she fights,
the freedom she craves can
no longer set her free-
                indelible and  c o n g r u e n t, 
LOST and INSECURE,
      she thirsts for redemption with
a language no one speaks. 

s h a d o w s      in     the     shade, 
no love remains in her concealment-
              OPACITY has made her blind
with no memoirs to remember. 

foggy  i s o l a t i o n,
          she's a God-forsaken mess-
nightfall into OBLIVION'S privacy, 
          without a soul to...
                          capture her essence.

lachrymose sorrowful days,
              she tried with a knife, 
a glum and  g l o o m y  existence-
      somber and disconsolate, 
filled with a SCORNFUL fate 
                beyond recognition.

SULLEN and woebegone
           dispirited overcast of clouds, 
screaming in silence, 
          just too loud to  c o m p r e h e n d. 

vague and  r e g r e t f u l, 
          locked inside a grave for life-
her death comes too soon, 
             as the  b l a c k  comes-
there's no where to hide,
when you're stuck in the...
                                   DARKNESS.
