Love Poem: In the Darkness of the Night

In the Darkness of the Night

The darkness wraps me up
In its blanket of sorrow
It tries to lull me to sleep
With dreams of a better tomorrow
But in the dark
A loneliness Breeds
Feelings of failure and despair
Feeling that once made me bleed
The sadness of the dark
Draws me to a dangerous sleep
Where dreams of happiness
Make me wake and weep
I dream of moving away
I dream of another life
Where there is this man
Who takes me away to be his wife
When I wake up in the light
The dream escapes from my mind
And I realise with clarity
That to life I've been blind
I wonder how it came to this
And how I could've been so wrong
I thought fate held my cards
But it was me all along
I've ruined every relationship
Time and time again
Because escaping from commitment
Avoided the blinding pain
