A Friend Called Darkness

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

Darkness is your friend...© 2025 Pexels. All rights reserved.
