DARKNESS

You were able to surrender me
Under the coldness that I loathed
Chilling every pore of mine.You let me go blind nervously,
Abandoning me
Inside you
When I was a child.But now,
I embrace that iciness,
I get myself enveloped cozily
In that same frostiness
Trying to find solutions
Seeking through you
For the darkest days
Denser than you
Without letting me go blind
To heal my tormenting self.
