Darkness
Covering the land
Creeps in me
I feel it
My heart
Darkness
As I reject
All the good
Love
Joy
Happiness
It is easier
I reason
To not care
To be safe
No pain
From loss

Darkness
Pushed back from me
My heart
As the sun rises
I see the wasteland
I created within me
And I weep
At what I made
Empty fields lay fallow
Trees, skeletal and dry
No life anywhere
Nothing at all

Darkness made this
In me
My heart
My choice
Was I right?
WAS I RIGHT?
No love
No pain

no pain...
only darkness...
First draft. Seems pretty good, tho. But needs punching up. Input and criticism is appreciated.
