We Fancy the Dark

Our secrets don’t belong in the light

And so here we are.

Long passed us is the moment for flight

So we won’t go far.

It’s all about timing and place

And accepting it all.

It’s not the truth we cannot face

But the ensuing fall.

We trust each other, and that’s enough

When we’re living in a world so rough.

We take looks at ourselves and reflect them back

Until we find ourselves on a different tack,

Safe from the flock,

Eyes on the clock.

It’s no wonder we fancy the dark

Until that unwelcome sunlit spark.
