Poetry: My darkest night

by Melissa Marie

Created on: June 04, 2008

I wouldn't mind the dark
if it weren't so shady
all the demons lie in wait
you don't have to tell me, baby.

I wouldn't mind the dark
if it weren't that shade of pitch
keep my demons in their places
hear the flicking of a switch.

Don't you howl
Don't you moan
Got to keep my control.

'Cause when I lay me down
my shadow at a rest
I can face the darkest night
for my soul has passed this test.
