The Night so Dark

The night so dark
beckons me forward
she draws me in
with the light of the moon.

The darkness in solace
offers a strange comfort
as I am drawn in and enveloped
held tight in the empty void.

I turn and look;
in this strange new place,
I see the darkness
has stolen the moon.

The pale orb fades away
leaving me alone
held in the comfort of the night,
praying for daylight’s return.

Welcoming the company
that dawn would bring.
I see not the rays of dawn,
nor feel the warmth of the sun.

Nothing but cold dark space
and the emptiness she represents.
For it is here,
in the night so dark,
that I am truly alone.
