Just for a night

Escape into the darkness

By Katya VolchkovaPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

The darkness called me on her side,

For her my heart was always blissful.

I even couldn’t stand the light,

I thought - what’s bright is never peaceful.

And so, I went to please my will,

Erase all fears of the city.

Although, my heart is made of steel,

For longer stay I wasn’t gritty.

Just for a night - immortal night -

I’ll leave behind my life of sorrow.

Suspend my never-ending fight -

For all desires of tomorrow.

It was like centuries ago -

I lost my feelings and my temper.

And it is time for me to go

Into the darkness of November.

And somewhere there lays my soul,

Forgotten and completely stark.

For me this place will stay unknown.

I lost it once - and it was dark.
