The darkest night

Last night was the darkest of all, 

Darker than the night

When as a child; afraid I was to step out

and turn on the light.

Darker than the night

when the plates seemed black, 

due to food's lack

in my mother's kitchen

and my father home.

For last night there was no light

reflecting in my eyes, 

For in my bed, my love so bright

had my love denied.

She shoved me aside, 

And I fell, 

Falling down and down, 

Deeper into the black hole of a blury fate, 

More darkness awaits.
