Comfort is difficult to qualify
Because each person is different.
We all wish to fly high
But always show we are ignorant.
Comfort is defined thusly
To soothe console and reassure
There is more but that is roughly
More definitions are obscure
I am dark in my soothing
No need for the light
But the light won't take me refusing
And demands it be bright
To console me requires silence then
But life demands a beat
And again I am forced to bend
Laid out in the street
Reassurement calls for love
And that one I could have
Unfortunately I am just a dove
Lonely flying on another's behalf

I especially loved these lines: 'To console me requires silence then But life demands a beat' A very beautifully written poem. I loved it!
I really like this poem, great job!
For someone who says they usually write horror, you seem to have harnessed your inner poet!
Great poem!
Brilliantly made 😊🎉
The thoughts that are evoked when reading this are both bold and unassuming at seemingly the same time... I love this one!

Great work that speaks directly to that dark sad part of my soul hidden away from the world.
