The Darkness

The Darkness

A Poem by Lanaia Lee
"

just as the title

"

 

On this very dark moonless night, I have to go out into the darkness
I really hate this, as the darkness really scares me
Supernatural, the occult, murders, with these things, I do not wish to share a kiss
I walk in the darkness, very very fast, because from the darkness, I wish to flee.
 
I feel as the darkness is smothering me, it is totally engulfing me
Sometimes in the darkness, I feel as if I can't breath
I wish it were daylight, I want to open the door, if only I had the key
From the engulfing darkness, I really want to leave.
 
Even as a child the darkness really scared me
As an adult, you would think, this phobia of the darkness would go away
Walking in the darkness, my emotions are paying a tremendous fee
I hope the creatures of the night, with me I hope they don't want to play.
 
The darkness to me, I would describe as a blanket of black
I hate this thing that is all around me
Strange things can happen in the darkness, this I know for a fact
Within this engulfing blanket, there is nothing I can see.
 
Behind me there sounds like someone is following me
I walk even faster, but it sounds as if the footsteps are doing the very same thing
I have no where to run, no where to run, but because of the darkness, there is nothing I can see.
I know you are there, as fear fills my soul, I can' help but wonder, what evil fate will bring.
