I'm not scared of the dark
Not the dark with the absence of light
The calm and peaceful
Which soothe some to sleep
Not the dark which makes the path hard to see
As I'm not scared to get lost
And can move forward without knowing where to go
I'm not scared of the monsters which use the dark to hide
As I have imagined far scarier things in the depths of my mind
I am scared of its true embrace
Sharp and numbing
The dark which shallows your senses
And empties the voids
I'm not scared of the dark yet still sleep with a light
Because it's piercing embrace is always a part of it
And I'm scared that when I feel it
I won't want to leave
