She is a friend to dark places.
She greets them all in,
Their dim, hollow faces
She knows their wary walls well,
Assembled perfect halls of hell
She feels their deep, vacant spaces.
Her lonesome friends who submerge
In all dark places.
There is one, she meets
Upon lifted and mellow streets.
where gentle winds they sweep,
And her mind is able sleep.
“Oh I didn’t mean to find you here,” she’ll say
But the “Lonely”, in his selfish, sulking
Sort of way;
Will kiss, her petty little head,
And return her to,
Those vacant roads instead
Sunken. Again.
She’ll lay to rest inside,
Where only dark faced, places hide.
