Dreams of Light and Nothingness

Darkness doesn't bother me.
Want to know what does?
That slice of faint sunshine
Perched upon the horizon,
With the promise of a new day,
A day that never comes.
The night doesn't hurt me.
I can survive,
Live and flourish even
In its murky, musty numbness.
Just don't try
Don't make me feel
With dreams of light,
only for it to later burst
into a thousand shiny pieces.
A thousand shiny pieces of nothingness.
