and the dark can be our halfway

let it be the constant place where we meet
let me wrap my arms around your delicate frail being
and mess your hair up with my fingers;

for in the dark there’s no need to hide
behind masks dearly known as our comfort zones
nor tread under cautious words

the dark provides a blanket of safety,
it knows about the blackest parts;
yours and mine and vulnerability,

in the dark you’ll find nothing but candour

the sunset can wait
-let’s hang in the dark for longer
Glenn Currier Jun 2020
Living with your depression
in that sphere of despair
is like gasping for air
becoming the dark pool’s possession.

It is always
your smile
that makes this dark cruel world
a little less scary.

If not for your smile
my eyes would have forgotten
the warmth of light
going blind
lost forever,
in this infinite darkness.
They say a smile can light up the world. It really does. Your smile lights up my world every single time.

Contradicting a thousand things I said before
I just realized darkness ain't wrong and light not always best
Sometimes we just need to stay in the dark.
To look within ourselves
To fill the empty void inside
Feeling comfortable with oneself
Because in the light a hundred people can see you
And well I guess that's why
Many of us cry in the dark
Head in a pillow
No light around.
And it's not the darkness that makes us cry
It indeed comforts us.
Then why do we fear the dark?
Is it because at the end of the day
We don't know what lurks inside
Is it our own demons
We fear?
Or are we just scared of the others who cry in the dark.
Thinking of what stories they hide
And are they as bad as ours?
Because the darkness doesn't let people judge us
Something the light let's people do
So, is the darkness , making us fear itself
Or is it our soul finding light?

I wonder what you’re thinking.
I wonder if you think of me often.
I wonder if you’re happy.
I wish for you to be safe.
I hope that you’re happy.
I hope you’re smiling.
I miss you.
I’m afraid of the dark
I hold my breathe when I’m alone at night
I feel its hand on my shoulder
Chilling as it grips tighter
With its knife to my throat, it tells me to run
Run around corners and past open doorways
Anywhere where it’s lurking about
Uncertainty is flourishing

I see shadows painted in paranoia
Stalk me while I walk to my car
Like bad memories and college debt
All through my life

Nothing else has this grip on my life
No addiction, no disease,
Only the darkness and its vice
Have such a control over me

Blinded by disease I lost sight of you.

Your words spoken by the voice of my demon.

I felt your love, though the intentions got twisted.

Your touch, familiar yet foreign.

I'm losing it again, reality.

My mind, a place of dark whispers.
Just tryin to contain my emotion,
but running around in circles, i got some kind of problem, but not sure how to contain.
They say i think to much, but the chemicals in my brain are like a house that hold you hostage to watch me cry.
Got whispers softly through the wind in my ears, just tryin to contain, contain my emotions.
Oh it's ok, but really it's not, getting worried over everything i see or do, but i just cant contain this anxiety.
Pushing and pulling through.
Just tryin to contain these thoughts that burden my darkness.
Wanting to die by a river, so the tide can drag me away, when im dreamin i can watch the lines fade away.

Sitting alone in the darkness
Earphones blasting
Calm and quiet
Feels like a warm home

A time which came by,
Drove me to those insane places
Which I never came across
In this life or beyond afterlife
Like the old ways cease to exist
May be it's time to let it by
And live past every possibilities
Which clench my fervours
Sealed in a cage for a while

May be it took a lot of time
To change my mind
To be a better part of your life
May be it's time to let go
Those every bit of chimes
Which we kept on clinging
For every second of our life

May be it's time
We were running out for a while
And the clock's clacking tick-tock
Like every ounce of my blood
Dripping out of my veins
Like a never ending rain for a while
To efface every bit of mutilation
Which led me everytime to our dreadful past
That I can never reminisce
For the rest of my life

Those minutes which we lived past
Every day and night
Which can never last till perpetuity
Hit our pesky state of mind
Like the sun can never collide with the moon
No matter how hard this universe tries
To make them fall on line
As my soul breathes darkness
Whenever I cast my shadow to live by
May be it's time to forage a shade of gleam
To give my life a new intention
To be vivid within

The love which we had for each other
Which was deeply growing for a while
But was fragile deep inside
And entirely hoax outside
Still you blame me without a blink of an eye
May be it's time to set those hopes on fire
To never live by those false accusations
Which kept our lives under the shed of deception
Like the **** and bull story without any perception

That's what we call life
And May be it's time
To live for a little while!
