Darkness

by Rebecca Hamilton

 

The moon has passed behind the cloud

Darkness spreads into my soul

The light I'd known is somehow gone

Hopes I had felt have flown away

The dreary night goes on forever

Stars have disappeared

The joy I had has left a hole

An empty hole that can't be filled

The morning never comes

Never fills the sky with light

The fears rule in my heart

A terrible undefeated tyrant
