Darkness

Surrounded by darkness,
surrounded by fear.
Left alone in sadness,
no one is here.

There´s nothing I see,
but much I can feel,
nothing around me
but the place where I kneel.

The light and the darkness,
thought they can’t be without,
fight to the death.
But they don’t fight aloud.

Silent they fight,
inside me and around.
Did you think you might
one day here silence sound?

And I’m alone in the darkness,
left alone in its madness...
