Darkness

That which you cannot see

Is what will always be

Somewhere just beyond

When they go they don't respond

To the mortal world, the light

Once they fade into the night

In the darkness they remain

Look too hard and go insane

You try to say their names, to shout

You try to squint, to make them out

But it's all to no avail

For the darkness will prevail

Now what I'd do

If I were you

(Of course I'm not

But I just thought)

Is try to leave and to forget

Their distant silhouettes

And let them be at peace

Until your own life doth cease

For that which you cannot see

Is what will always be

Far off and hidden

At least from the living
