Total Blackout

In the darkness she sits THERE.
The place that she thinks IS
the safest. You may think its NOTHING.
The nothing that is IN,
gives her the sanctuary for WHICH
she craves. Don’t turn on THE
lights for daybreak brings the BIRDS.
She says the dark is best, I beg to DIFFER.
Trying to get close pushes her away MORE.
She turns and backs away FROM
all possibilities. She says no to all MAN.
For her running away is easier THAN
getting hurt. She will not repeat THE
pain again, not in the same WAY
her mother did, there is no IN.
Thousands of thoughts in her mind WHICH
she disagrees with. Even though THEY
try to convince her they CAN.
Tear down her walls she just will BUILD
them up again higher, wider, stronger AND
darker. She is so young and beautiful YET
so jaded. She pleads to LEAVE
her be right up until THE
end. Right before she fades into the LANDSCAPE.
She loves the darkness, the quiet AS
if the silence was the only IT
for her as if it WAS
her only friend. I leave her just like BEFORE.
