mid night poetry( part 1)

what is darkness? we'll never know?

I say I love the dark

I love to be alone

But what's really in the dark

You now we'll never really know

Cause once you turn on the light

It’s not dark anymore.

I feel things crawling on me

I see faces that aren’t there

I hear voices calling to me

“Please some one help me

Isn’t anybody there?”

They say “come and be with us”

Don’t you like the dark they say?

Is it just my mind playing tricks on me?

Or are they really there.

I can't stand it when they call to me

I don't want to be with them

Someone take me out of the dark

I hope this is all just pretend

The darkness wraps around me

Making my screams muffled

It’s like the darkness is a girl

Giving me a kiss

Yet it's lips are so very cold.

I think I’m going crazy 

I can't take it anymore

I run to the door and turn on the light

The darkness is no more

The faces are all gone

The voices are all mute

Those cold lips can't kiss me anymore

The light has over come the dark.

I feel the warmth come back

I don't love the dark any longer

I can't stand to be alone

But the light is now on

So what's really in the dark?

I guess we'll never know.
