Bleak world comes alight Date: Tuesday, 10th December 2013 @ 08:14:14 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: gypsymaddness Hold me back Before I crack The night she comes Matter of fact With no charity Nor passivity. Hold me close Before I'm broke The sun she comes Lighting away the dark But not lighting away my heart. Close my eyes To not see the lies The shadows creeping Always wanting But never keeping. Take a breath Calm the mess That is inside This head of mine. Keep a hold Dont let me go fear it does Take ahold Tearing into my mind Tearing into my soul. Keep my hope While I choke Deceptive jokes And shameful ropes. Fight the night Follow the light Rays showing the way To another way. Open my eyes See the world No more lies Just blinding hope .  .  .
