Waiting in The Darkness
We wait for the darkness
Only to hide in the shadows
Of our secrets
When we come out
We scream for help
The sound
Only muffled
They run to rescue
Say I wish I had know sooner
After there is nothing left
Only after they’ve seen you fall
They respond
Fallen is the all capped bold note
You leave on social Media
They now open both eyes and ears
Waiting for darkness
To express how much they loved you
Yet no one saw you
Your scream muffled ……
