THE DARK *

I’ve been where you are;

That dark place you call home.

I too have surrendered there,

Just to be alone.

I too have not wanted to leave,

When I know I’m meant to.

I have let the darkness in and please me,

Like it tempts you.

 

I had heard the muttered sounds,

Long before the lights went out.

Just like you had lost your empty voice,

Straight unto the point of south.

 

I have been here before you, friend.

My name is already on the wall.

I know your very thoughts because,

I have seen it all.

 

That’s why you come here, I know;

A place where no light grows,

So you can hide your face from light,

And finally be exposed.
