Hello Darkness my old friend
You are always there for me
Wherever I may go
Or you wait for me
Like a faithful loving friend
In the daylight hours
You are within me
Sharing everything I do and say
In the night you envelope me
Like a blackened shroud
You provide me with
Strange comfort
For you have been with me
Since I came into this
Besotted world
Others call this world wondrous
Yet we know how monstrous it is
We smile for the realm and
Laugh at the jokes of the
Jester to show good face
When I am lonely at parties
Full of pretty petty people
You are there to provide me
With ugly profound company
The kind I truly crave
When others on this fettered earth
Fear the calling of final darkness
I embrace it with full heart
For in that moment
I shall be one with you my friend.
