If you're looking for a happy post...

...This isn't the place to find it. I've got a million and one thoughts on a million and one things...minus the million part. Anyway, while I'm in the mood, I figured to make good on a promise to someone to write a dark poem SERIOUSLY. Enjoy it, but maybe bring a flashlight.

"Left Alone in the Dark"

See a light,
it burns red with a glow.
It reflects in your eyes,
and you already know,
when the past is forgotten
it continues to grow
into something much darker,
even light cannot show.

I know of a song, it kills as it’s sung.
It tells you, “Remember, remember some more
whatever you loved,
what you once knew for sure.”
But you’ve forgotten, it’s over,
and you hate it for days.
The song doesn’t care,
It laughs while it plays.

The eyes that watch you,
they all shine green,
burning with envy,
poisoned with greed.
They take what they want,
they leave nothing for you.
And you cry out and scream,
but what good will it do?

Alone in the dark,
the last light burned out,
you’re left by yourself,
and now you find out,
you should have seen it,
there was never a doubt,
that’s what it’s always about.

That’s what it’s always about.
