when darkness descends

when darkness descends,
yet again,
one more time,
and u want,
the pores on ur skin
to close tightly shut,
and you dont want
to feel the breeze
of freshness
to break the darkness
of the tumultuous night.

u want to crawl back,
into the now growing
dimmer and dimmer
alleys of ur mind
and relearn to explore
the distantly familiar
roads once again
u want to revel
in the never ending
morbid thoughts
that ensnare your brain
with a stronghold
tighter than death.

u find the darkness
snugglingly, comforting
it is kind enough
to help hide your fears away
to help you escape from
the hugely tiring effort
of setting things right,
yet again.

and you find u dont want
any other help,.
just some space to hide,
just some space to rest,
before sunlight breaks through
your cocoon
and makes u want to fly again.
