Hunched in the dark cavern of her own creation
she crouches
her head is tucked in the crook of her arm
and the darkness envelops her
I am content here
(for it is happiness she fears most)
perfectly content
Light pierces through her cushion of darkness
and as it falls on her fair skin
her stomach churns and her skin crawls  
She retreats further into her darkness
and screams at the light to be gone
*leave me alone with my sweet darkness,
for you, cruel light, unsettle me so
