What is darkness

 

 

What is darkness? Is it when the sun wraps its self in the blanket of night ever so tightly? And the moon becomes the nightlight in which illuminates the shadows of your minds inner sight. Or is it the loneliness and depression, which darkness leaves inside the heart, when love has failed and gone astray. Or is it the life lost of a child, a brother, a sister or a friend that held your light in the darkness, which now engulfs and consumes all light and your very soul. Or is it that moment of truth when you’re told that you have cancer in your throat. And you see your world of speech now becoming a screeching sound of a dying hope. Where the darkness has blinded the will to live and becomes that moment of desire. What is the darkness that haunts you?

 

You speak to me of this ascending darkness
That waits for you in the broken light
Where you fear its deadly loneliness
With the sorrow of a lingering plight

 

Yet holding tightly to those dreams
That failed you in the night
You hear those introverted screams
Of a horrible deathly social delight
Where life and death are the themes
And insanity is what you fight

 

While hoping sleep is your survival
From a world broken at its seams
Believing that tomorrows arrival
Offers you those better dreams

 

Yet your soul starts to shed a tear
Thinking of why it has to die
Its panic brings you dangerously near
The total darkness and its deadly sigh

I've seen darkness and light. I survive the darkness but prefer the light
