Analysis of One Dark Night



The darkness has come once again.
It takes me into its hands.
It hold me tight in its grip
It holds me and i can not resist.
It holds me away from all, i love.
It holds onto me, so tight,
it sufficates all the light.
It keeps me in the dark all the time,
even when, its daylight.
It takes over all my thoughts.
It makes me do what it wants,
and i am not strong enough, to fight it off.
Its too late to get away,
for tomorrow is too far away,
and my life i fear,
has faded,
away.
