Have you ever noticed, <br />darkness is the single thing most fear? <br />when lights depart it fills its place <br />and makes me hold you near. <br /> <br />you say 'you fool don't fear the dark <br />theres nothing there to fear.' <br />but as the light escapes the room <br />your voice is hard to hear. <br /> <br />it causes shadows to dance about, <br />wicked voices fill the air. <br />it reminds me of those i loved and lost <br />and those who did not care. <br /> <br />i told them not to leave me here <br />i told them not to go. <br />but as they left the darkness came <br />i've never felt so low. <br /> <br />so in the dark there memoirs live <br />there voices fill my ears. <br />not even the comfort of your voice <br />could stop these retched tears. <br /> <br />they left me here alone and hollow <br />to tell those who wish to die, <br />for those that drive and strive for death <br />and believe they only cry. <br /> <br />no matter how the world does seem <br />there will always be much pain, <br />but without the suffering and torment <br />there can never be a gain. <br /> <br />so those who suffer and live in pain <br />for those whose wrist do hack. <br />do you peffer the warm bright light <br />or the cold disturbing black?<br /><br />Jesse Mejia<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-darkness-27/
