The lack of light
”There’s nothing in the dark that there isn’t in the light;
There’s nothing in the dark that there isn’t in the light;
There’s nothing in the dark…”
I’m lying in bed, constantly repeating the magical sentence.
It’s no use just repeating it, I could do that for the whole night,
while being scared to death.
I have to believe in the magic… but can’t.
I don’t think it’s even true!
There is light in the light, and there isn’t in the dark
and that’s what I need desperately.
Actually, I’m not really afraid of the dark because pure darkness is completely harmless.
I’m scared of things hiding in the dark.
Creatures that I could never see during the day are now laughing at me.
They are proud of their mystery and I … I could only be proud of my own misery.
They are closer … and closer - I can feel their presence,
they won’t let me sleep well, or maybe not at all!
Oh, God, I’m all theirs…
My fear is stronger than anything.
It will last ’till someone shows me the Sun.
True or not, it’s for sure that there is something in the dark
that there isn’t in the light…
and that is … fear of the dark.
