The Dark

I’ve always been curious about the dark

It’s seemed so lonely from the start

Although it might seem quite stark

I now see it as an abstract art

It touches me when I’m trying to sleep

And tickles my heart when I’m awake

Even though I feel it running quite deep

I still feel this relentless dull ache

I get lonely in my bed

Especially when fantasies run high

All these racing thoughts in my head

And I don’t even bother to ask why

Because I don’t care to know what this means

All I know is I want it to stay

It’s infected my nightmares and dreams

To the point where I don’t even have a say

Where did this come from you may ask

And to that I think is an excellent question

To face the dark there is no need for a mask

For it believes I’m made in perfection

The dark represents all I know

And all I’ve yet to be

For I know it cannot go

As the in the dark no one can even see

It covers me in uncertainties

But not the painful kind

And I’m glad not one person sees

What goes on when you look in my mind .
