Here, the Dark I Know Well


Take me from here,                                         The stories the walls hear
This place I know too well.                                of broken hearts and confusion
The spaces and faces                                        could fill novels and shelves
 and this love where I fell.                                 feeding optimist's delusions. 
 
The sun sets late here                                       There's one way out of here
and the sun burns my eyes                                 a small tunnel leading to light
they say it's perfect                                           this is where the lost try to escape
but they don't hear the cries.                             hurting others in the fight.


I fade into darkness here                                   It's a vicious cycle in here,
where those saddened refuge,                           in this darkness where we lie
where those with lost love                                 fighting to feel love once more
die waiting for their rescue.                              until eventually we die.


                                              Take me from here
                                       and we will walk hand in hand 
                                       to the place they all talk about
                                         that perfect, promised land.
