Monday Poem: Pulling the Darkness Out

Pulling the Darkness Out

I saw the night creep away to hide
cowering in shadows and dark places
where the sun will not find it
and pull the darkness out of it
and tear our secrets from within its folds.

It curls up to hide out the day
taking all our secrets with it
that we whispered in the dark
knowing the day could not come
and steal away those things

we want to keep hidden from the light
and the way you coiled around me
as though you wanted me kept deep
in the darkest shadow of your heart.
