Something Dark To Be Told

What would you do
if you smell the decay
perfume of sulfur,
would you let that person suffer?
What would you do
if a shadow  is cast over
you, your soul?
Would you let go
from woe.
What would you do
if your heart holds
on to darkness?
Would you be a light
for someone else
who walks in darkness.
What would you do
if you hold darkness
in your hands?
Would you lend a hand
to help a down cast soul?
What would you do
if you hear lamentations?
Would you offer a kind heart,
willing to be patient
and listen to woe
and give comfort.
What would you do
if you see a familiar spirit
in a person's face?
Would you be a friend
and make that person smile.
Would you hide
in your own darkness
and woe?
Would you crawl
out of your crack
and share your scars
with the world.
Would you help
that down cast soul
in the shadows?
What would you do if you
know sorrows and woe?
