It’s dark outside…
And inside too…
Won’t you lean a bit closer
as I whisper words to you?

That’s it…Closer still,
For the things I will say
Are spoken for your heart
It’s much better done that way.

Let the Shadows slowly seep
Into the fabric of your life,
As they carry with them
The struggle and the strife.

I love the way they trouble you
and a quiet mind do cloud,
For darkness is my habitat
Shadows just my shroud

Join me in this journey
And embrace the flow of tears,
Take my hand as I lead you
Into this land of fears

Ah..........very very well done.  Insecurity does tempt just so.  

The syrup runs thickly to cover all.

oh......what an invitation?
and what a journey?

I doubt that anyone hasn't been there or had a taste of it..........

Thank you

A bit scary, nails the way our fears are all consuming.

One tiny nit:

"and a quiet mind do cloud,"

should that be "does" - for singular "a quiet mind?"

Thanks to everyone for the comments!!!

Corrine... you may be right..I was using do instead of does with the idea it wasn't refering to the singular mind but to refer to the "They" as plural... they do trouble
they do cloud....

I love the way they trouble you
and a quiet mind do cloud,
For darkness is my habitat
Shadows just my shroud

my grammer is not the best ...so now i'll have to do some research and see if I can't understand how it should actually be.

I appreciate the comment and welcome future ones!!!
