Sometimes it gets a little darker,
When you walk home by yourself,
with nothing but the cold in your hands,
And the gravel trailing your feet.
Sometimes it gets just a bit darker,
Though your home is beyond black
and you feel that empty stolen piece
Of you filling quickly with despair.
Sometimes it gets a little too colder,
As you rub your hands in frustration and
wrap your arms around body in vain attempt,
When the chill of falling begins to set.
Sometimes it gets a bit harder,
To keep returning to a vessel empty of
its life, its love, its truth, and courage,
In facing ghosts that blind and taunt.
Sometimes it feels easier to just lie. Down,
To yourself, to your light, to your vain deity,
Give in, unto, fear hatred anger and complete deceit,
Mirror image growing colder, fainter, darker.
Sometimes the shadows of a room grow with pain,
Deep, dark, desolate decadence.
That bind, hurt, remember and refuse,
Everytime it gets even a little bit darker.
