Cover image for post I Know the Dark, by Rocco

Rocco in Poetry & Free Verse

I Know the Dark

I know the dark

’cause I’ve spent a lot of time there

listening to the murmurs

of the old me

remembering things

when I pretended to care

I don’t need light to see

to cast doubtful shadows

of uncertainty

I know the dark

I know the dark

slide on over

there’s enough room for two

in this room with no view

I’ve seen the things that you do

it doesn’t bother me

I’ve done them too

I know the dark

the promises made

in a constant charade

with motives hidden in lies

deceit

defeat

delete

repeat

all there when you close your eyes

I know the dark

I know the dark
