darkness calls

18 2 2
                                    

she was alone in the house, save three dogs in random spots

her family left, going to the mall without her

she told them to, and frankly, she didn't care

but its hard to do things when darkness calls

its a seductive thing, darkness is.

it calls her to go downstairs, and down all of the medicine in the cabinets

it called her to go outside, go into the pool and not go up for air

it calls her to go into the kitchen, grab a knife and do stupid things to herself

her heart was heavy already, it tried to coerce, why not just end it and be free


it was true, her heart was heavy

and she was suffering 

but she didn't listen

she ignored darkness's calls

she stayed in bed, unwilling to move

her music playing softly as a reminder to stay with light

there were reasons for her staying

but those reasons weren't for her staying tonight
