Darkness Is

I cant see, my eyes all sore,
Wet with tears, all red and raw,
In my mind, I should be dead,
The pounding noises in my head,
Switch off the world, and stop it turning,
From inside my soul is burning.

Why cant I live, I want to see,
Darkness is the best place to be,
Now in this place it’s cool, and calm,
Here I’ll stay, safe from harm,
In this place all dark and black,
Where I go, and can’t get back.

 I know it shouldn’t be like this,
I want a cuddle, I need a kiss,
But these things aren’t here for me,
In this dark place where I can’t see,
Trembling and shaking, shivering with cold,
As the darkness takes its hold.

 Grab it now and pull it tight,
Wrap it around me, like a cold wet night,
No moon or stars, just dark sky,
I have no life, and don’t know why,
There must be more to life than pain,
I need to get out, and live again.

 The tears now stop, in comes the light,
No more pain, let it be bright,
Out into a new world I come,
Here where it’s full of love, and sun,
With helpful, happy smiling faces,
No more painful dark places.
