Darkness Calls



The streets are empty,
Darkness calls,
While everything inside,
Climbs the walls,
Searching dreams,
For fairytales within,
When the end awaits,
What is to begin,
The torture of care,
Screams from each beat,
As the hurt surrenders,
To its defeat,
Dancing flames,
Illuminated in reach,
Left to learn,
What there is to teach.............BAD-Mc..<3
