Where do you hide, <br />when the cold night surrounds you? <br />Where do you run to, <br />when loneliness stalks you? <br /> <br />Who do you long for, <br />when your heart beats hollow in the dark? <br />Who protects you, <br />from the black shadows on the wall? <br /> <br />What do you find, <br />in the empty corners of your mind? <br />What do you see, <br />in the cold moon light? <br /> <br />Do you count the minutes, quietly dripping away? <br />Do you stare into the night, awaiting the first light? <br /> <br />When you search your soul, <br />do you still find it half and incomplete? <br />Can you feel you silent heart, <br />beating out of pace with mine? <br />Are your pillows still soaked, <br />with the crystal tears from your sad eyes? <br /> <br />Can you remember, <br />a time before this when life was easier? <br />Do you keep your faith, <br />in tomorrow and the possibility it holds? <br /> <br />Do you still have regrets? <br />Can you still feel the hope? <br /> <br />How will you fight, <br />your demons in the night? <br /> <br />Will you hide, <br />or will you rage, alone until the light?<br /><br />Dewald Viljoen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/darkness-3/
