Darkness, My Ole' Friend

Hello, Darkness, my ole' friend:

I've come to talk with you again.

My loneliness comes to set in;

Why am I here, chatting with sin?

What the hell did I do: 

To earn such a life, I'm living true.

I only seek to live peacefully;

So, I need to figure this out, indeed.

Why do I keep coming back, defined?

My darknesses take me places,

That I'm unwilling to unhide.

The multiple times I catch myself:

Openly conversating with me, myself, I'd shelf.

Darkness:

Telling me; I'm crazy,

Should I be?

What is happening; 

From deeper within me? 

Into the depths of my soul; 

I must go.

It's never been;

So,

Deep, deeply tolled.

I never asked to be born into:

A world being born into its sins.

Who wants to be in a place; 

Where Corruption, Lust, 

Lies,

Greed has no Grace.

Sex can be bought, on corners; 

Along with the diseases, it carries,

Scorned without a lover!

You are all too comfortable to me;

A place I'm unwilling to be.

Here you go, Darkness, my ole' friend; 

With a bunch of Angry, Angry Smiles,

In its first sins.

I'd been baiting you all the while:

I shall not go or walk with you,

One More Mile!!!

Darkness, My Ole' Friend!
