Best Friend

when the night closes in

and the sun's found 

a new place to go down

a deafening sound of silence

is heard

as the love for life has

found no more grounds

to stay around

what remains is an emptiness

looking for a new place to dwell

it shouldn't be too hard to find

when every dark corner

has its own sound

of what loss of life

can be about

only the will to survive

is the reason

it doesn't always achieve

what it's aiming for

sometimes, darkness can be

the best friend you ever found

and its loyalty as always

will stick around
