Purple!

time is a valuable thing
the pendulum of my mind
swings back and forth
behind my eyes

the minutes go by
and the day fades..
the shadow of light
comes out to greet me

creeping up my legs
and over my arms..
but...
i am not afraid

i look up into the darkness
but i cannot see anything..
it smothers me
until i cannot breathe

but yet..
it is comforting...

takes away my pain
takes away my sorrow

takes away my shame
if only until tomorrow....
