a little like light

Consuming the darkness
And sipping on shade,
I breathe in the night
And I exhale the void.

In your vacant stare
With those funeral home eyes,
I looked through and saw
Only dead things inside.

So I donned a black dress
And I buried my fear
And I showed you the shadows
Are something we share.

We'll drink in the darkness
Together tonight,
And it's strange how it feels now
A little like light.
