Talking To The Darkness

Why on earth did you come?

I never invited you.

Is there no way around this path?

Must the only way be through?

What do I need with your pain?

How can I welcome your sorrow?

I can't bear your burden of today,

never mind carry your load of tomorrow.

You came without any heeding.

I never heard you call my name.

Now I'm drowning in your ocean

and I'm crying in the rain.

I can't fathom or understand you.

You have filled my heart with shame.

You will never be welcome here.

Go back from whence you came.

I can't wait for you to leave me,

then I will dance and sing my song.

I will shake your dust from my sandals.

I will rejoice when you are gone.
