Lay me down in darkness Never again to see the light Not that it matters much though I never fought the good fight So go on now and lay me down Let me sleep in peace Mourn me not for I am here It's just you cannot see So go on now and lay me down As the darkness covers my eyes The black shroud floats on down Light as a feather at the final release So go on now and lay me down As the darkness comes to claim me Worry not for I am there Whenever you shall need me So go on now and lay me down And let your memories remain Never shall you sheild your heart From the bitter pain So come now and lay with me Down in the darkness And never shall you be afraid Because now you will see Everything is better here Laying down with me

What do you mean by "lay me down in darkness?" Upon starting your poem, I thought of a grave. -but, why then would you want that other person to lay with you if they're still alive? Perhaps they should lay down their pain.
Wonderfully written. Thanks for posting it.
