Darkness

The darkness is astray
Sombre and dull it lays
There are victims too
Light it brings then solitude
Into the arms of warmth within
It tingles, the sense of soft and silky skin
The whimpers fade away
Into the hall of castaway
It strings you along
Where it deprives the place you belong
Silence begins and the fracture opens
Light opens up and it is gone
There is not much things to do
As you realise you have it to
The fear of what can not be denied once you meet eye to eye
Darkness lays ahead , beware of you dare
