Is the darkness always like this?

It's coldness and dread wrapping around you like a blanket...

It bathes you in fear....

It dunks you into it slowly and drowns you, like a rat in a river.

But...

...is it always this cold?

Darkness brings fear, panic. It drives itself into our minds reminding us that we are not alone

There's things in this world

Things we fear and find impossible to love

We can't feel darkness

We can't touch its purity

That I find sickening

We can't touch it yet it touched us

We can't feel it yet I know it feels us

We can't breathe it yet it breathes us...

It outcasts our happiness and brings us and our minds into itself

It consumes us

We don't fight it

We just let it break us, bit by bit

The only light in this cold state is the light of something else cold and dark

The moon

It's light casting down on us as we rest

But...

Why do we despise the moon when we love the sun?

Why should we despise the darkness when we love the light?

We hate something for being the other, just in its own way...

I, personally, do not despise the darkness, nor the moon and it's gorgeous light

Perhaps...only the weak fear the darkness....

Or the weak love the darkness....

Darkness

A word that drives us

Often bringing unholy thoughts...

I'm just rambling

Am I?

I don't know

Do I?

I should let the darkness consume me once more

Like it does

Like it always does

That's its job, right?

That's what the darkness does, right?

Or does it?

I don't know...

It just confuses me...

Now, as I lay bathed in moon and shadow

I feel the darknesses cold embrace wrap around me

The comforting cries of the wind echo through my ears...

The moonlight guiding me...

It's reminding me that I'm not alone...

Things are out there...

That's what it's telling me...

Is the darkness always like this?
