darkness holds me once again
Hugging me to its dark heart
I feel its heartbeat on my cheek

I close my eyes to lock it out
I push it way with what remains of me
But it will not be denied

The darkness is behind my eyes
The more I fight the closer it holds
It fills me like nothing else

It loves me in its way
It sees in me its get
It holds me my antecedent

I was always of the dark
to the dark I must return
as inevitable as day to night

So we come around again
I feel the cold touch she takes my hand
Her cool breath on my ear

She whispers soothing words
A loving mother she accepts me
Her wayward son back to her arms

So I am layed down to sleep
My Mother my Darkness watching over
And I can sleep once more

I aint as good as I once was but I'm as good, once, as I ever was. - Toby Keith

I used to have a love/hate affair with my dark demons . . . So I know whereof you speak.

Embracing darkness calms even the most unsettled mind. A natural cleanser for all that distracts us directly and peripherally.

Unlike yourself, I close my eyes to lock it in. I see myself much clearer in those times.

A good read at this hour.
