The Best Poem Of Amanda DelVicario

Flip The Switch

Flip the switch. Turn off the light.
End the day to end the night.
Close your eyes, and take a breath.
Don’t look back, and take the step.
End the pain, and end the joy.
Stop the crazy spinning world.
Away it spun, and away it will stay,
Never to see the light of day,
Never to see the darkness of night.
You take the step in flight.
I can see it, you cannot.
Fog consumes one side, hell the other.
Fear cannot combat the pain.
Light cannot combat the dark.
Flip the switch. Turn off the light.
End the day and end the night.

(October 2005)
