Inside A Darkened Room
A darkened room knows no sorrow
No today and no tomorrow;
A darkened room has no sadness
Has no pain, only madness.
A darkened room has no light
Has no moon or starlight bright;
A darkened room has no shine
Has no lustre, yours or mine.
A darkened room has no good
Has no heartbeat, has no blood;
A darkened room has no breath
Has no life but only death.
A darkened room has no style
Has no simper, has no smile;
A darkened room has no grin
Has no easiness within.
A darkened room has no day
No opinion, has no say;
A darkened room has no eve
Has no reason to believe.
A darkened room has no PC
Has no he or has no she;
A darkened room has no view
Has no me and has no you.
