In Love With The Dark

This is a verse I came up with last night when I was in bed.

In Love With The Dark

Being in the light -

I don't get sleep

Even if I want to!

Or I see many faces

Which I don't want to!

It allows unnecessary focus

That is uncalled for;

Making my soul go sore!

But then, there is darkness -

Waiting for a warm hug in its bosom.

It engulfs me like a blanket,

Without needing a real one.

It keeps me nice and warm,

Mesmerizing me to sleep,

Making me oblivious to

The unending stream of
Irksome thoughts and memories.

It never lets me down;

Never letting the world know

That I am around, in some corner,

Shielding my soul from the misery

All around.
