my old friend darkness

The darkness is creeping in

Yes it’s back again

But I don’t cry,

No, I just let it in

Because when I was down

And no one was around 

The darkness hugged me thin

It didn’t feed me lies 

Or taunt me with goodbyes

Or tell me I’m alright 

That it’s all in my head

No, the darkness didn’t say anything

It didn’t leave me guessing 

It didn’t have to because it knew that it would be back again

So I welcome it back with smiles

And I say, “Hello, darkness, I knew you’d be back agairn.”
