In Darkness
In darkness,
She chooses to disappear.
Slipping away silently,
No one there to hear.
In darkness,
It seems so simple.
Quickly looking back,
She grins showing her dimples.
In darkness,
No one will note,
The pain in her eyes.
She swallows the lump in her throat.
In darkness,
They can't see the pain.
Always hiding the anguish.
Emotions seem to drain.
In darkness,
The coldness takes control.
Pleasure taken from the chill.
Ice takes hold of her soul.
In darkness,
She takes utter comfort.
In what will never be seen.
Desperation to which she must resort.
In darkness,
She must hide,
The pain and love she has.
It's all a matter of pride.
In darkness,
She shall remain.
As it should be.
Her loyalty is hard to obtain.
In darkness,
She is consumed.
Comfortable in her place.
Nothing is EVER assumed!
