In the dark

 

It's dark in here,
Where melodies are shot out of the toxic air and shattered on the ground.
It's dark in here,
Where the sky is always shrouded by clouds drizzling rain that doesn't clean but burns.
It's dark in here,
Where the ground sprouts blades of steel and not grass, and each step you take is agony.
It's getting lighter in here,
The seamless rolling darkness parts to reveal a meager scrap of light.
It's getting lighter in here,
I can vaguely sense direction instead all-encompassing night.
It's getting lighter in here,
Perhaps someone will extend their hand to help me climb out of this bottomless pit lined with black felt and silence.
