The darkness

How simply you stole my heart beat like a thief in the night, I wasn’t ready I tried to scream but you said you needn’t dare for I’ve taken your air,
How simply I wanted to cry, beg make a trade why me, I wasn’t ready I wanted to beg for a second chance, but this was my last
How simply I wanted to hold my family, this pain inflicted upon them of which I have no control, it was never my goal
How simply I felt the cold surrounding me, then I realised the cold became me
I couldn’t see there was darkness
The darkness swallowed me and called my name….
Come home, you got to come home, but there was another voice that came from the light please stay…… Coco brown Reid 2016 (c)
