2. Between Two Worlds | Dark

●☆•☆•☆•☆•☆●

"The darkness cannot reach me

I've sent it far away

I hide within my walls

where all I ever see is day.

I built them tall and sturdy

Cower behind its weight.

There isn't a monster 'round here,

that could ever penetrate.

I've lay here for some years now,

too afraid to go beyond

I got so used to safety

I forgot where I belonged.

Lingering on the bridge between

Two worlds I couldn't fully be.

For in each world I'd toss between

I'd left a part of me.

And locked within those walls I'd built;

A heart as cold as stone,

beating for friends I'd made-up

So I wouldn't feel alone.

But their hugs held little warmth,

Eerily silent do they shout:

"The day you let us in,

you locked your loved ones out".

But rainy nights cloud the pleas,

Of the waking world I stay.

Still too afraid that when it gives,

It'll also take away.

So days I spend in la-la land,

A place away from weep.

And lurk at night, between the worlds,

Cause' dreamers never sleep."

-Arabella Katt (xCaptainCl3mentinex)
