Game of Chance

Darkness is a game of chance

A danger filled dance

Never avoidable

Noises all too audible

It doesn’t just surround

It bounds

And lives inside of us

That we refuse to discuss

Neither to acknowledge

Fear that graduates college

It’s a carnivore you see

Won’t register your plea

Never really does

Will set your mind abuzz

Annoying right?

But it bites

Can you feel it?

The hard hit

Every time you observe

It hits a nerve

People have been driven mad

In anger it’s clad

Beware my dear

Not only to little children does it draw near

You are a target

It speaks in argot

I sympathize for those that know

This underlying foe

There’s no escape my child

For as it smiled

The mind goes wild

Darkness is a game of chance

With a cold romance

Kisses to the trance

And a last fleeting glance.
