Darkness


I've never known why 

but I've never liked the dark

Maybe because the dark is dangerous 

I can stand the night 

because I know there are stars

But when the sun sinks down 

and the lights in my rooom are off

I tremble 

The darkness has never been my friend 

Always trying to trap me

To finish me off

I can't deal with thedark

It's the only time I can think 

and when I think... that is a whole different darkness

One no one knows about 

No one can know about 

The thoughts that kill and slowly poisen 

Yes, I believe I prefer the day, the sun

But sometimes I let the darkness take over

I see the sun, the light

But yet I choose the darkness

Because in some ways it is my only friend
