The Dark

by:Alex

The tearing of a wound

lying against your skin

As the blood drips down

where the light cannot begin

I stand alone in the dark

away from any light

I keep quiet

and take in the cool, cool night

My Friends who I suppose are the only ones that know

understand how I feel with out emotions that show

I'm as cold as the night sky

and more alone when I want to cry

But that is how I always am

as lonely as those who don't give a damn

I"m tired of shedding tear by tear

and keep up with fear by fear

I just curl up and lay in dark

the only place where I can lie down my heart

I watch as the sun slowly comes up

But I look away as fast as I can

and stay in the dark is my plan

I like being sheltered away from it all

I don't have to worry about what might fall

I like being alone, I continue to say

but I don't think I'll last one more day

I want the moon, the stars right here

and a night that is crystal clear

so I can stay in the cool, calm dark

and know that life is not so far apart
