My favourite place to linger is in the dark,
Within the silence before the storm.
Inside the shadows of our loud world.
between the noises of our lives.
I want to forever lurk behind
To keep my fake handshake a lifetime
And smile without my heart.
Eternally lying underneath the black sky
To fall inside the gaping hole
Keep my eyes away from the dark
Watch from the sidelines discreetly
Growing in strength as I stay silent
So that eventually when I move,
The world will shift and shake
Recognising the black creature
And the power it has grown to in the deep dark.
