The Dark
by Noelle De La Garza
I've grown accustomed to the darkness
The black silk sheet that wraps around
Our naked bodies
To conceal us from the days woes
The safety of you staying there next to me
When the sun comes up I understand
You have to go
But in the dark you're here
We're here
In the dark there's nothing to be afraid of
Now I can't quite seem to understand why
Kids are afraid of the darkness
To be honest
I'm more afraid of the light
