DARKNESS

A symbol of mystery,
misery and fear.
loneliness
evil and occult
found in you
a synonym.
to me at times
errie
but always constant
even and unaffected
in you're arms
i find refuge
here no one can see
the tears that flow
i can risk being me
no makeup
additions required
i feel at ease finally
black makes it possible
oh! darkness
what would i have done without you!
silence u gift me
thats all i want
all i need.

Your best, as far as I'm concerned! Yes, even better than serendipity :P

sitting in the dark gives a feeling like you are totally alone., with no one around you. And., added to you state of mind you tend to ignore the world beyond the darkness of your room. Basically 'hiding in the dark' :)
