Waiting for Dark


I close my eyes
and hold my breath
waiting for dark
to unveil me

I touch my scars
picking at noise
waiting for dark
to exhale me

I trace my path
where love once bled
waiting for dark
to complete me

I mask my pain
retreating in words
waiting for dark
to release me

    I read your words
    Echoing in my thoughts
    Waiting for the dark
    to know me

    I liked the use of the refrain in each stanza :)
