Dark Corner
She spins a web of light
inside
her
mind
She turns it up so bright it
leaves
her
blind
It's the corners that she fears
The places where she hides her tears
She tries but there is
no
illumination
there
The darkness snuffs out light and
leaves
it
bare
The blackness hides her pain
Failure in spite she tried in vain
In the dark she doesn't have to
face
her
past
The light she tries to spread there
doesn't
last
She won't beg to be atoned
She only longs to be alone
The corners of her mind are
dark
as
night
What she'd see there would only
give
her
fright
The memories are blocked
Relief to her that they are locked.
