There's a room in my heart
Dark and cold and neglected
It stays quiet in the sunlight
Cowering from the brightness
A child lives in that room
Barely old enough to know the world
Yet too melancholic for its age
It stays in there everyday
Hiding or protecting itself I don't know
It's not afraid of the dark
But thrives in it
I'm scared of that child
The child with a manic smile
Teary eyes and an empty heart
This child has a hunger for darkness
That never seems to satiate
And it keeps eating all the light in me
This child never learnt to love
Never felt loved and cared for
It only knows hate and anger
Learned from its parents
I fear for both of us
Its hunger is too much to satisfy
And I'm too tired to resist it
Maybe I'll let it consume me
Then we both might know peace
