The dark

Here I sit alone in the dark. 

sit, join me.

The woods are dark.

closets are dark, caves are darker.

It’s a cold night in my bed, in the middle of the summer. 

Follow the trail of RARE.

The pink attracts.

So just cut out my heart.

And put it in my hand 

On this golden platter

But you will only see it in shadows.

You don't deserve color.
