The darkness beckons the heart
Dive deeper, it nudges
To see me
Is to welcome blindness
To feel me
Is to unfreeze numbness
To hear me
Is to turn deaf to nothingness
And to know me
Is to experience death
Amidst the intoxicating pull of life
Often, leaving you breathless
What do I receive in return?
Demands the young orphaned heart
My child, comes a whisper
I am the womb that once kept you safe
Till it was time
To give you up to the light
Knowing you could never be mine
I am that, your darkness in the night.
