Hello darkness my old friend
Thank you for inviting me here again
For in you I can always confide
That which is darkest inside
I promise I won’t linger long
But surely, you’ll miss me when I’m gone
This relationship that we share
Cannot be found just anywhere
You fill and cover me
And you set me free
I show you things
That only you may see
With you I need not feel
Anything here can be real
Except what’s just outside
Of your corner where I hide
Oh, truly you must know
How it pains me to go
To leave you here
And embrace my fear
The fear of facing what is known
Knowing just how much I am alone
With nowhere to go and no place to hide
Until later when I can crawl back inside
Inside the recesses of my mind
Where only darkness you will find
Void of my sorrows
With endless tomorrows
And a friend to share
Someone to care
