DARKNESS IS STARTING TO SET IN

Darkness Is Starting To Set In 

They say the world is round, and yet 
I often think it square the way this life is ; 
So many little hurts we get along life's highways , 
From corners here and there. 
I breakaway looking for better days , 
But one great truth in life I've found is staying away 
From the dark side of town , 
While journeying in my life I had been cut deep like a knife , 
Cutting at my heart , 
I was left to bleed no one cared for me , 
Dark Angel told me to get up and move along  
And take control over what I learn from long ago  
When he taken my heart from me , 
And gave me darken dreams that screams back at me , 
Annoyance in my heart will rise another time , 
At things mere strangers do; 
But those are only passing ills; 
This rule all lives will prove; 
Deathwatches what it can give , 
The rankling wound which aches and thrills 
Is dealt by hands of what is I'll , 
Essayed of unprayed hope to let the pain of darkness go, 
The careless mien, the frowning face, 
Are given to our own in shame of Dark Angels way , 
We flatter those we scarcely know, 
We please the fleeting guest, 
And deal full many a thoughtless blow 
To those who love us best then leave us to bleed , 
Love does not grow on every tree, 
Dark Angel says love makes you bleed , 
Love hurts is what Dark Angel knows best ! 
Nor true hearts yearly bloom. 
Then coldness of the dark makes its way in , 
The cut across a heart that burn with so much pains  
Of what the darkness gave , 
But, soon or late, the fact grows plain 
To all through sorrow's test: 
Another soul at dead ends .
