If the Darkness Came

if the darkness came again to take me away, would I really stop it from trying again? As time moved on and hoped it would better? Maybe change it up and make me the happy one. If the darkness came and promised me peace, would I let out my hand? Would the tears stop falling from my eyes, and the words stop breaking me down? If so then any day I’d let the darkness take me. For all the ones I told I loved, I did truly mean it. But I don’t really know if all this pain is worth it, if all the crying was worth one compliment. All the shaky hands and unstable thoughts, all just to feel one minute of love. Would all the pain lead to what i truly need. because years of pain and heartache, never seem to fade. I wonder if the darkness had taken me, who would really care?

About the girl who couldn’t save herself, the girl who let darkness take her hand.
