The Dark Ages

I can’t stand the way I was that day
Speechless, with so much to say
I wish I had run away
But maybe it’s not too bad things didn’t happen that way
At night when there’s no moon
No one has a history
The dark ages last a few hours
But that’s all the time that’s needed
To erase memories, create horrible dreams, ruin sleep
Destroy all possibility of elimination
It’s hard to live through this
It’s harder to react
When everyone’s behind your back
It’s hard to know when you’re being attacked
It’ll tear you up someday
That’s a hope I can’t betray
These ages will go away
Maybe they’ll turn to darker days
