Alone In The Dark

Who hasn't sat in the dark
Alone
Intently watching the shadows
of daylight's familiar things?

Who hasn't sat in the dark
Alone
Listening to the low hum
of electricity

Wondering
whose steps are those
outside my window

If you haven't sat in the dark
Alone
Then maybe you're lucky
Then again maybe you're not

Comfort comes in darkness.
Shadows conceal,
Imagination explores
Darkness can open doors

I sit in the dark
Naked, Wondering
Listening, Waiting
Alone
