Lights Out

By: Brier Kole

By BrierPublished about 9 hours ago 1 min read

Turn off the lights.

Sit in that cold silence for a moment.

That cold dark that rips at your mind.

Sit in that moment.

There is a warmth in the dark.

A warmth few have the heart to find.

A hot glow that you reach down deep to grab onto.

The distraught

The broken

It is there

Waiting like a torch

To be carried out of the dark.
