Alluring Darkness
Don't open the curtains
Living in darkness
Makes me feel safe
It hides my tears from being seen
And the stains on my blouse are not visible
I love the darkness
It's the colour of my heart.
Before you walked away
My world used to be painted in bright colours
Yellow, just like the sun
And blue, like the colour of the ocean
My tears were of joy
And the pain I felt were from prolonged laughter
But now,
I have nothing to laugh about
And I can't afford to be joyous
I have made peace with this darkness
It shields me
I can finally wake up and see nothing to live for
I don't know the colour of the sun anymore
And I won't be able to recognise the clouds
I'm safe here
Don't be concerned for me
I am not lonely
Darkness has become my companion
And reminds me that my pain
Is also my strength
That's why I embrace it
For its here to tone the muscles of my heart
