When Darkness Falls Poem by reina Lorenzo

8/21/03

walk through the shower thorns
open your eyes and be ready to bleed
darkness will fall, for both you and i
are you gonna breathe or die?

When darkness falls
Where will you gonna be?
Empty hands will raise
Heads will be lifted, tears from our eyes.
Shivering skin,
From our deepest pain
What do we need?

Grip is dyin’, body’s down
Lost sould will seek
But what about the living?

When darkness falls
There’s no me and you
Poor to the carcass
Who died but
Never had the golden piece of peace.

When darkness falls
Then you will realize.
