PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As the darkness falls upon us, we run.

We hide from every little problem that we can’t

solve on our own.

Darkness isn’t always evil, you know.

It’s not always a dull feeling of depression.

Darkness holds within it the bounds of serenity.

Peace, even protection and strength are found there.

I live in the darkness.

Though so many moments are spent walking

within the bounds of the light.

I love the smooth, cool feeling of the air.

The stars that shine so brightly.

The moon and it’s constant changes reflecting upon my face.

I look in the mirror and see my eyes.

Darkness dwells within them as well.

I feel overtaken.

But with only pleasure do I accept it.

Am I so wrong to love the dark?

Am I so disturbed to want to stay there?

Call me what you want.

Criticize me how you see fit.

I’ll keep within my guard.

I stay where I am wanted.

For with you, I know I do not belong.

The darkness is calling me.

Oh, how sweet its sound.

The melodic tone is summoning me.

It’s comforting to know that at least the darkness desires me.

However, I desire it as well.

Take one last look, because you will never see this pitiful excuse of a human that I have so long been captured within.

Say goodbye. Say those last words.

For you are that which I will no longer listen for.

Your voice will no longer be heard by these ears of mine.

You will no longer stand within my memory.

You will no longer last the test of time.

I will no longer be here for you to walk on.

The darkness opened a path for me, and that path

is what I took.
