The will to live will meet its end, <br />Hello Darkness, my old friend, <br />I meet and greet you, once again, <br />My lurking sadness, you will mend, <br />My sorrows, you will apprehend, <br />This happiness was all pretend, <br />And from the cross, I shall descend, <br />My putrid soul, you shall claim, <br />To douse inside your burning flame, <br />Those embers seem to call my name, <br />They melt away my icy shame, <br />Sweet Release, the target of my aim, <br />From life, this shallow, futile game, <br />And thus, my will shall surely bend, <br />My happiness again, at end, <br />Throw me in the lion's den, <br />Hello Darkness, my old friend.<br /><br />Derrick Andrews<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hello-darkness-2/
