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. September 19, 2017
