Bobby Darko Poems

-The shadow dweller
I live... alone... in the shadow...
the deep and cold expanse of dark surrounds me....
I have tried to come out.... but the light... it shuns me....
...

Is it cruel or kind not to speak my mind…
And to lie to you… rather than hurt you…?
While I confess all of my sins after several large gins… still I hide from you… hide all that’s inside from you.
I no longer hear the music! I no longer see the light!
