twilight

twilight, so awful, so scary, so glum,
always remember it was called "gray death"
by my mum

named I guess from accidents
caused by people not turning
on car lights soon enough

but what lights can I turn on
that will be bright enough
to deflect the pain

mornings are a struggle
that's for sure
but night is bad in a scarier way

the dark is so permeating
so dense, so opaque
very much like the burning pain

so sometimes when morning comes
and the pain is still there
at least you know that the light is there, too

twilight-not welcomed by me
but I'm sure some of you are delighted
by it (I hope)
