here is a darkeness i cannot hide
a fear about to colide
a worry thats eatin me
my darkness its so in me

Can feel it in my bones
its drooling of holding home
I can taste it when I breath
taste the darkness thats feeding me

I look and see it there awaiting and not a care
It wants me ..wants me now
The darkness about in devour
my soul repels yet darkness holds
down and down I fall
Darkness envelopes me.
I shut my eyes tight to stop the images from floating.
Darkness fills me.
Fills me with fear.
Fear of the banging.
The scratching.
The ripping.
The thumping.
I lay in the darkness.
As the voices encase the room.
Whispering to me.
Taunting me.
Laughing.
Screaming.
Darkness envelopes me.

Dark
nice but dark
I can at least
make out your face
if I focus on that
the darkness
will go away

Peaceful
its almost too peaceful
but I like it
Its quiet too
not many people
stay up late outside
when its cold
but we don't care
or at least
I don't

If you hold
onto me
and I onto you
it could be
the darkest of darkness
but I wouldn't care
cause you
would be my light

the darkness is a friend
the darkness is a foe
it protect me from the light and keeps me whole
as the darkness grows t feel more alone
yet part of me is drawn to the light
the light stings my eyes and burns my flesh
i return to the darkness and this is where  i will remain till im ready for the light
Darkness may come ,
The rain may fall.
Whats there to believe,
If you've lost it all?

Trust in yourself and the world my be free.
The darkness will have no hold on thee.

Dark is not the absence of light,
but the reflection
of those things
right
behind you, sneaking.

You spill into my life
Like sheets of rain
On the pavement
of a melancholy day

You are the damp and dripping
The mysterious and captivating
You are the darkness
Come with me,
and we can write a tale.
The tale of a tale.
When I think I see you in the dark,
the dark of the mist,
the mist of the dark.
There, now you and I,
we have written the tale.
Goodbye.

Attraction

Why am I so attracted to you
I've never thought the the cheerleaders or popular girls were attractive
I think a person with depth and flaws is beautiful
People with substance attract me
People who are passionate about life and not so caught up in this egotistical world that we all find ourselves drowning in attract me
To me, finding an emotional connection is far more valuable than a simple physical attraction
Intrigue me with your thoughts and you can have my body
There is such a discrete difference between attraction and connection
Don't be so easily fooled by what catches your eye because beyond a pretty face may lie an ugly soul
But if you want to talk attraction then explain to me how a bland mind is so attractive
Tell me about the conversations that you carry with this person
Are the meaningful? Do they mean anything at all?
I want someone who will tell me about their scars and where they come from
I want that emotional connection that is so rare to find these days

Lying on my bed
In the dark
I have no fear
For I welcome
The dark
The black velvet
Envelopes me
Cocoons me
Soothes me
No ghosts, demons
Nor banshees’
In the still of the night
Permeate my darkness
For I’m not religious
I came from the dark
And I will leave
In the dark.
