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
