Devoted Darkness by Melina Raven Maness DieboldI am surrounded by the devoted darkness
He is my only true friend
He patiently listens to my woes
He lets me cry on his shoulder
He lets me shed my arid, invisible tears
whenever I ache
whenever I hurt
He does his best to comfort me
no matter what my sorrow may be
I am always lonely without him
I cannot sleep unless he is beside me
am I crazy...
he says no
I listen to his wisdom
I've known him all of my life
He is very old and wise
But then, he leaves
substituted by day
I hate day
She makes me get up
makes me correspond with others
Day is so cheerful
She has no problems
She doesn't understand mine
She doesn't understand why
why I hate school
why I hate life
why I hate her
She is so naive
Oh, I wish darkness was here
He'd know what to do
Day is stupid
She is really dumb
I hate her
I hate day
Darkness is my only friend
My one and only friend
Why does he have to leave
For yet another twelve hours I'm sad
I'm lonely
I wait for darkness
Patiently with anticipation
I'm anxious and yes!
Day is gone... Darkness is here....
Maybe this cloud above my head
has a silver lining
