I see darkness in the light

by Jacob M Parnell   Aug 23, 2005


I see darkness in the light.
As I close my eyes to see.
It becomes quite contrite.
And horrific to a certain degree.
----------------------------------------
I turn my head.
To hide from the frightful sight.
Feelings of dread.
Until I say goodnight.
----------------------------------------
Darkness falls.
Upon my lighted dreams.
Incased in walls.
Haunted by screams.
----------------------------------------
Light becomes a bliss.
As darkness takes its toll.
Its something I truly miss.
And its hard to control.
----------------------------------------
Almost impossible to stand.
But even harder to accept.
Darkness moves to expand.
Even as I slept.
----------------------------------------
Glimpses of light are rare.
Throughout each day.
And now Im truly aware.
This darkness will never go away...
