Darkness

The darkness warms me

A thick liquid covering my skin

engulfing every pore

Drowning all of my sins.

I couldn't tell you what wings feel like

Or what a smile does to my face

I did it once and it felt foreign

But the wind swept it away

To float off as particles into the sky.

I laughed, it might have been yesterday

or a season ago

It didn't penetrate in to my soul

Nor did it let me inhale any pure light

Humans find it addictive

That bright drug.
