[Poetry] In Darkness

Hey, are you still there?
In the darkness; waiting for your demon to go away?
Sometimes choking in the damp air,
Sometimes groaning and calling God,
Sometimes even scratch the blood out.

Hey, can you hear me?
From outside; I whisper your name in my heart.
Wondering when you're going to show up,
Wondering what story you'll tell me today,
Wondering how you'll fight away the monsters.

Hey, will you promise me?
During storms; you are strong as ever.
But the winds are growing fierce--
--you are falling down, down, down, again.
Still, can you promise me?
Tell me you won't give up.
Tell me you'll stay to see another daylight.
Tell me I can go inside, into the shadows, into your darkness.
And let's wait together.

I can't promise I wouldn't get scared or something, but I can promise that you're still my friend.
