Here, the Dark I Know Well

Take me from here,
This place I know too well.
The spaces and faces
and this love where I fell.

The sun sets late here

and the sun burns my eyes
they say it's perfect
but they don't hear the cries.

I fade into darkness here
where those saddened refuge,
where those with lost love
die waiting for their rescue.

The stories the walls hear

of broken hearts and confusion
could fill novels and shelves

feeding optimist's delusions.

There's one way out of here
a small tunnel leading to light

this is where the lost try to escape

hurting others in the fight.

It's a vicious cycle in here,

in this darkness where we lie
fighting to feel love once more

until eventually we die.

Take me from here

and we will walk hand in hand 
to the place they all talk about

that perfect, promised land.
