My Poetry

When Darkness Falls

For some reason, when the light blue turns black
Something inside me decides to crack

Is there a word to describe the utter despair and fear
That consumes me long before my dreams will near

I can wake up with the sun and a smile on me
And go through the light like a boat on calm sea

But once darkness falls, it's like it fell on my soul
I trip and I drip slowly, slowly down a hole

Or maybe I'm plummeting from an endless abyss
Going from nothingness to nothingness

Sinking, slipping, I can't grasp the word
For this feeling I feel that seemed so absurd

Just a short while ago, I was happier than all
Then somehow my heart just decided to fall

So confused and lost, wishing something was right
But even the small happy things have vanished from sight

Now that darkness has come and covered it all
I can't see what's in front of me, so I start to call

To the one who would listen, who I trust the most
But does he call back, could I even hear a ghost

I scream for answers, for help, for my heart
Do I not listen hard enough, it's tearing me apart

Am I just being irrational or selfish or stupid
Or am I slowly losing my mind, my thoughts becoming diluted

This is what I fear at night, when darkness collapses me
I hope to one day see the light even past the evening
