Darkness has arrived once again
I've no strength to bid him go
so to darkness I open the door
Darkness, More faithful than a dear friend to me
with his arrival all warmth, laughter and color
leaves, Save many shades of black and gray
With each unannounced visit, The longer he stays
yet I haven't the will to latch the door
darkness, I belong to you once more
How long will you stay, What price will I pay, As
loved ones flee, When they see you in me, Hating you
with a perfect hatred, Yet I embrace you like an old friend
You expect so little of me, And I
Nothingness of thee, I succumb to you
darkness, As you seep into me.
