I Wait

A Poem by Dano

Darkness creeps along
I fiend for the shadows
Join in peeling my layers
Tear down my cracked form
Capture this winter
The bruised snow runs red
Silent and beaten
I wait in the shadows
Away from the stains
Away from the red
Concealed
I wait
The cracked sky leaks
Tears of burnt out souls
The darkness swept away
My skin cracks and bleeds
Against the sun
I'm fiending for my friend
For her dark embrace
The damp touch of black
Her cold caress
I wait
