Hello darkness my old friend

Darkness was her only true friend.

It was always with her,

Always there surrounding her,

Whether outside her body or in,

Wrapping her in it's cold embrace,

Holding her close to it's emptiness.

The dark held all of her demons

And the spirits that haunted her mind.

They, the only ones who would listen.

They, who weren't afraid,

Who weren't hurt by anything:

Not by the thoughts in her head,

The words in her mouth,

Or the actions of her body.

They were welcome in the abyss.

They were invited in,

And gladly stayed the night.
