the darkness

another reference to my reaccuring dream

darkness follows close behind,
it taps you on the shoulder
just when you think the sun will shine.

it pulls you tight and traps your soul,
and leaves you with no place to go.

a thousand tears for every smile,
a hundred cries for every laugh,
a day of happiness for a week of pain,
an ounce of love for a sea of hate.








another day,
another night,
blink your eyes,
and life goes by.
