The darkness somehow
Invites me in
I know it's not good
But I can't help it-
I feel comfort
In the loneliness
Stability
In the despair
Belonging
In the gloom
It invites me back to when
No one expected anything from me
I didn't expect anything from myself
I could not let anybody down because I did not promise them anything.
The comfort of the emptiness
The safety of the isolation
And the familiarity of the tears
Are more appealing to me
Than fighting.
I let myself go
As the darkness reaches out
And pulls me back in.
