I doesn't matter <br />what is <br /> <br />showing. <br /> <br />I see nothing. <br /> <br />Or whether I've seen it time <br />...& time again. <br /> <br />I go to the cinema <br /> <br />to be alone <br />in the darkness. <br /> <br />To sit with strangers <br />in this shared darkness. <br /> <br />Pretend I am <br />not alone <br /> <br />as light flickers <br />& the illusions of love <br /> <br />are played <br />out. <br /> <br />I go to the cinema <br />because of the darkness <br /> <br />trying to escape <br />your voice <br /> <br />crawling all over <br />the inside of my head<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/because-of-the-darkness/
