The Cloak of Darkness

In a dark room, a girl sits

tears rush down her face.

She feels alone but she's not

because darkness comes

to her to comfort her thoughts

by wrapping his hands around her.

She is now sobbing quietly

in the arms of darkness

who cloaks her with the night.

Every star thinks it's perfect from out of sight

so they judge the girl for being empty of light,

but she doesn't judge them back

and the stars laugh with the moon,

who is no better than the stars who laugh.

But darkness stays with the girl and

dries her eyes with his cold hands

and cloaks her with his dark,

black cloak of night.

My cloak will keep you safe

from the harm of the world.

I too, know the sadness that you feel

people fear me throughout the day of dawn

even when they shouldn't.

So stay here and I

will cloak you forever in darkness.
