The darkness will make you strong I promise you It won’t do you wrong Then why do you sleep with the lights on? They’ll all be gone Once the nights are long Darkness won’t do you wrong Curtains are drawn You are not asleep Wetting your bed and then staying up to weep So that is life Who knew growing up would offer such a mountain steep? Again, again, again Sleep Let go of the kitchen knife When the sun has set all eyes are black Now you see the night as a potential threat Wishing for the light to come back But wait – Dawn break is coming Meet your fate Don’t you hate – the memories, humming to a different song A song you once tried suppress Now you’re staring down at your life It’s all a mess Even so *Less and less* The glow I guess, Is not a shoe fit for your toe Panic Light covers everything; Unwashed drawn curtains; Midnight dances on the carpet; Broken bottles; Again, again, again The kitchen knife; Your broken bedside lamp; Blood drops; Wet cheeks; - Everything the night covered up is brought into the light Your wight can’t live in this sight Can you follow? So bright Shut your eyes You won’t have to fight Daylight is not meant for your lie "He's been dead for 48 hours," the police statement reads. 19.06.14

DARKNESS

I'm thinking the night is another kingdom. I'm trying out rhyme for the first time. It feels sort of cheesy, but it flows good as well. Again: I'm sorry I tag. But I'd love some feedback.
