inside

From inside the coffin,
the world is:

cruel
empty
claustrophobic,
and horrific.

So, I’ll stay inside
just for tonight;
I’ll remain dead
just for awhile.

Inside the coffin,
my world is:

peaceful
beautiful
vibrant,
and amazing.

So, I’ll stay inside
for another night.
I’ll remain alive
for my next eternity.

And, I’m frightened of the pain that’s defined by your light.

Inside the coffin,
I live and breathe beauty.
I love the massive aura around me
and I am reborn out of your nothingness.

But, nothing can replace the love I feel in my darkness.
