Darkness is a friend,
That hides you in her arms
When you don’t want to be found!
She is that shadow of yours,
Who is always there lending
A shoulder for you to cry on!
It is a friend
That hides your tears
So that you aren’t embarrassed!
She is a partner
That knows your insecurities
But buries them all deep within herself!
She is that companion, around whom
You don’t have to put up a fake smile
Or an ‘I am alright’ mark!
Darkness is that friend
That never leaves you alone
And makes you more strong
Darkness is a friend
That will help you to find the stars hidden in you
That soothes the burns we get in light
A friend who never tells us lies!
