STAY

Shadows cast upon the walls.
Voices whispering in the dark.
Every minute, they draw closer to me.
My light is dim and it's starting to flicker.
I feel the darkness waiting to consume me.
It's lurking, expectantly, waiting for my light to burn out.

I see your demons too, roaming around.
The voices troubling you, I hear them too.
I see them getting close.
I see how you lose yourself as you try to keep your lights on.
I feel it too, the same light that keeps them away, burns me.
Yes, the darkness is lurking, waiting for our lights to burn out.

But together, we stand a chance.
Together, we shine brighter.
In our little circle of light, we're safe.
In this circle, it's just the both of us.
Together, our flames become fierce.
It'll keep the darkness at bay.
So in our little circle, we'll stay.

This writeup was inspired by the sketch a friend of mine made, using charcoal by the way.
