She could only sleep <br />with the light on <br /> <br />being blind herself <br />she could not see it <br /> <br />but could feel it <br />on her skin <br /> <br />its presence <br />comforting her <br /> <br />as she lay in her darkness <br />basking in the light <br /> <br />I besdie her <br />blinded by the light <br /> <br />unable to go to sleep <br /> <br />longing for the darkneess <br />to comfort me <br /> <br />erasing the world <br />blurring it to sleep <br /> <br />before turning it <br />into dream.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-dark-of-the-light/
