Every Night

" Every Night " 

It's all dark, and she is feeling lonely

what more can it do, she asks it briefly

mind won't budge, even if she gave it a nudge

it's scary, it's collapsing, it all seems deadly

She doesn't have anyone, She feels walls narrowing 

She is accompanied by no one, only the vast sea of poison 

she asks herself almost often, 

what has she become, what is it she feels is missing 

but alas! there is no answer and the dark grips her slowly 

she is alone, but she ain't got any clue

that, why does she suffer from this, she has no cue

she is crying, she is lying 

all awake with eyes wide open 

but all she can see is blackening dark

and the darkening black that surrounds all

she tries to close the eyes, 

but it seems darker inside, 

she tries to switch on the light, 

but she is unable to find the light 

she breathes, she attempts, she tries to elope 

but the darkness crushes all and almost every hope

it's the dark night that never seems to end

it's the light at the other end that is never found 

she gasps, she jumps, she lays on the side

but the darkness seems to be stretched far longer than the ocean

she somehow gathers the strength to fight

she tries to get up and knock it down

but the darkness and the tears have clouded the view

and the desire like the light is no where to review 

she hates, she forgives, she loves

but no one is there to receive, share or even cuddle

it too shall pass, she thinks in her heart, 

but will it? asks her heart in the mind. 

she keeps sobbing without any sound

she goes on and on and on till she dries all the tears, 

then again comes the darkness to harness the leftover hope, 

she is defeated during every fight she takes with the dark

still she lays there, thinking this too shall pass, 

but will it? will it? 

asks silently the heart in her mind. 

she doesn't answer, of course! 

as she fights darkness every night....every night....
