Dark Ground
The dark tugged the sun down.
And we aren’t sure if it was actually pulled,
Or pushed.
We were innocent, playing in the street,
And then, it’s like it was stolen from us.

I stood there, hugging myself for warmth,
Wondering where they all went.

Tomorrow shows up, but I can’t shake the cold of last night.
How terrifying, knowing it will get dark again.
How nothing lasts forever.
Though, somethings, somethings feel like they do.
This knowledge of darkness,
How it takes the light before it is physically,
