Pitch Black

I lay awake in my bed alone

Rain pounds loudly on my window

Flashes of lightning fill my room

Thunder shakes the walls around me

I pull the covers close to my neck

This darkness makes my body tremble

This complete darkness keeps me up

As my imagination runs, I can't sleep

Wishing I had someone to hold me close

To listen to the rain hitting the roof

Rest my head on his chest for comfort

I imagine someone laying with me now

Holding me so close in this darkness

But there is no one, just this darkness

I can't see a single thing through it

Not even my own hand in front of me

This darkness reminds me that I am alone.

Laying in bed during the black out.. after the hurricane.

I love the darkness, and the chaos of the thunder and lightning. I like to stand in the storm untill I'm too numb to feel the cold and never tremble from the thunder. I dont understand what it's like to be an enemy with darkness. I'm too alone to shun the only thing that welcomes me.
