When the Darkness Comes
When the darkness comes, there’s no escape.
It swallows you whole,
You try and fight,
But it’s just too much.
Your pain goes unnoticed by everyone around you,
They don’t hear your cries for help; they don’t want to.
When the dark comes for you, you might surrender.
You’ll embrace the brutal hate around you and succumb to it,
Quietly, slowly, the darkness will surround you,
But now it’s like a protective blanket,
It engulfs you, keeps you warm on the insides and cold on the outside.
When you embrace the darkness, people might notice.
They will see the coldness in your eyes, but they will torture you anyway.
They are afraid inside, but they won’t show it.
You’re still their victim, in their eyes.
You deserve it, though they don’t know why.
When the darkness starts controlling you, you’ll never notice.
You won’t fight back; the dark will protect you.
When the darkness comes, it will bring dark thoughts.
And one day you’ll stand up to your tormentors.
They’ll see the wild anger in your eyes,
They’ll see the evil and tremble with fear.
When the dark is with you, they have no chance.
You will hear their cries for help and pretend not to notice.
When the darkness comes, revenge is always a dish best served cold.
You smile, but it does not reach your eyes.
The darkness heard your cries for help,
When no one else noticed, and no one else cared.
Now you have the darkness,
And nothing and no one will ever hurt you again.
You’re cold inside, and cold outside,
But it doesn’t matter.
The darkness came.
