Why are people afraid of you, Darkness?

Because little light can pierce your dark veil?

The insanity acute in likeness?

The hopelessness some can just barely feel?

Maybe you can feel the ill-meaning beasts

The ones that lurk just outside sight and mind

The sun not able to come to in the east

The whispers that seem to respond in kind

Whispers that can envelope you in time

Bliss that is there for only a moment

In the end it will steal all that is mine

Put a lock on the cage in enclosement

Why are people afraid of you, Darkness?

It should be of what is in the darkness
