Darkness

I am not sure where she lives

But it’s probably my head 

Started from a corner

Now her wings have spread.

—-

She feeds on my sadness

She dwells on my tears

She strangles my soul

With the gaze that leers.

—-

Her name is darkness

And she has come for me

To take me to a place

From where you cannot escape.

—-

I have been fighting

But to my despair

She is growing wider

With strength you cannot compare.

—-

One of these we might have

A combat, you might cheer

Could I win

I doubt

But giving up won’t be fair.
