The Dark


In the dark We come to face our inner thoughts We challenge who we are And ponder our lives I stare into black And squeeze tight the hole in my chest My eyes spread wide Seeing nothing I am alone in the dark No lovers No friends No family So I breath Breath in the quiet Breath out the sadness And maybe, just maybe Someone, Anyone, will turn on a light.
