In the Dark

Shadows can’t follow you in the dark,
So let’s fall into the abyss
And let it swallow us,
Forever beyond pain’s terrible kiss.
Agony has no more bite
When there are no nerves to feel it left,
And loneliness has no more reach
And becomes, itself, bereft.
In the dark, we could be safe,
With no more stares to follow us here,
And nothing but peace
Alone with only us, my dear.
The shadows would not follow us
Into the dark abyss,
But the light cannot reach there;
Is it worth yawning emptiness?
