A Friend Called Darkness
You
close your sleepy eyes at night
In
the darkness you hug your bedsheets tight
But
it is not a pitch of blackness which you see
You
are with your loved ones, the ones who are no longer, but are now free
The
darkness, although scary by name, it really is not
Because
if you truly understand, you know it holds a lot
A
route, a gateway some say to the other side
To
know that they are okay, this you can realise
And
whilst there are many future days without seeing their faces
Know
that you can always return here, to see them again in other places
Words
that attempt to rhyme can be a little forced
So
let me break the pattern just to say
Darkness
is your friend
Your
way to remember the ones we have lost, the ones who have stayed
The
ones we truly miss each and every day
