Darkness

Darkness.

It lived in nooks and under the stairs,
Grabbing my legs during pitch black night.

I noticed it, but the sun burned it.
It seemed to be afraid of those around me.

A smile sent it cowering,
a laugh made it shriek.

But then I was alone.
It snuck from behind me,
Muffling my cries as tears rained down.

I felt my heart crack,
My chest constricting.

Air leaving my lungs,
Head spinning fast.

Then I felt a raindrop.

A black tear.

It curled around me.

Hugging.

Caring.

Crying.

I wasn't afraid anymore.
