The Dark Loneliness

The surroundings have become quieter,

And my heart whispers it wants some rest,

Even my shadow has left me alone,

And I am in my brain's arrest..

Sitting in the darkness I try to figure out what is more darker,

The darkness outside or inside me?

The only answer which reaches my ears,

Is that from this darkness I cannot get free..

Even the stars aren't showing their shine tonight,

And the moon is hidden behind that dark cloud,

There's only emptiness around me,

So it doesn't matter how loud I shout..

The street where once there was a merry crowd of people,

Now it only comprises of memories,

People,relations,time and life,

Everything has changed in quick successive series..

In which direction should I go I have no clue,

Because it's dark everywhere and I cant see any road to walk on,

The night is getting even darker,

So I decide to just sit here and wait for the morn..

Seems like even the sun has lost its way,

Because it's been such a long night and still there isn't any ray of light,

So I just close my eyes and try to calm myself,

Waiting for the end of this dreadful night..

I know that soon this darkness will be killed by a new sunrise,

And life will clear out this emptiness,

But for now the only thing in my sight,

Is this darkness filled with loneliness..
