Afterdark

I looked for the thing that set you apart

And with that, I pulled you from the dark.

Cradling you in my arms

As if you were a child.

Humming a tune so you could feel

Cozy for awhile.

Slip a book off the shelf and take a seat.

Indulge yourself in a new world with new people.

Get caught in their lives and how they live.

Forget everything you knew about your own.

Let the characters take you for a ride across the world.

See through their eyes.

Feel their pain.

Know their language.

This is the new life

From the Afterdark.
