So Dark It Feels

So dark it feels, this world called home,



 So bitter cold it
seems.



 I’ll wrap you in a
cloak of night,



Thick and warm as shadows are,



 Keep you safe from spite,                                              



Croon you a lullaby and wish



To sing away the demons in your soul,



 Light a candle in my
mind to chase the darkness away.



Instead we stand, arms flailing,



 Teetering on the edge
of the abyss,



 And all we can do is
muddle through,



And hope.
