Darkness

 

Waiting in the dark
Waiting for the light
The sun rises
But the darkness continues

Discouraged, frustrated
Alone and disillusioned
The darkness steals all hope
Light extinguished

The warmth has turned cold
The rainbow has no colour
What is sweet? What is salty?
Everything is just stale and tasteless

Waiting in the dark
Sleep is uneasy
Mired by nightmares
And dreams unfulfilled

The days are dark
And the nights darker
Dawn brings disenchantment
And dusk just resentment

- S.T. Arasu
