To Brent...
Nearly Destroyed by Day's Wrath,
I am Easily Lulled, Lured
By Dusk's Narcotic—
Perfectly Willing
To Give Myself Up to the Dark.
I am gradually Consumed by It.
I am gradually Filled with It.
My Senses Dull.
Barely Discernible,
Sprawled Under the White Sheets that Cling—
To Protect or to Suffocate?
I can't Decide.
My Thoughts are No Longer Lucid.
I have Nothing Left to Lose
Except Myself—
Something I Willingy Relinquish:
My Last Gift.
Vulnerable,
I Submit Completely, Gratefully
To the Darkness.
In Exchange,
The Darkness Gives Me
What I Want Most:
Tranquil Sleep.
No One can hurt Me Now,
Nor can I Cause Pain.
I Relish My New Freedom—
A Limp, Anonymous Figure
Between the Sheets.
