Darkness

Darkness cover us,
Shield us
From the day,
Take away the pain,
And allow me rest
In sleep 

Darkness,
Hold us in your grasp,
And allow us
Peace
From scars unhealed,
And wounds
Still bleeding

Darkness
Breathe life
Into our soul
And let us weave you
Into words
Of poetry
And sketches
Of art

Darkness
Hide the light
Of truth,
And let us believe
The lies,
That we'll be okay
Someday

Darkness
Protect us,
From this life,
This world,
This reality
