There is a darkness

That lies

In places

Where light cannot shelter.

There is a darkness

That lies

When words

Have no meaning

And cease to become

Words.

There is a darkness

That lies

Where tears trickle

Forming rivers

Of pain,

Of sorrow,

Of anger.

There is a darkness

That lies

When there is no one

To run to.

And you're all alone

In this absurd world.

There is a darkness

That lies

In all who have

Given up.

In all who have

Lost the light.

In all who have

Forgotten themselves.
