The Darkness Within - May 23, 2000

As the night sets in
my mind turns over
to delve into
the darkness within
that surely outweighs
that without.

And I wonder
what spurs me to do this?
To willing let go
of bits of myself
when I can't
even bear to think of them.

Like old scabs
I pick at these thoughts
until the wave of
icy coldness floods down
and engulfs all that I do.
