Why do you leave


have you ever experienced darkness? 

when you don't even need it to be night

or close your eyes?

the kind that even if you try to ignore

it comes back for you?

it's mysterious and you wish you knew his name

but it comes and goes and you don't know

when it's going to do either

you wish it would just choose one:

stay or leave

but either way you'd be disappointed

who is he?

and what does he want?
