Gone In A Moments Split

Wind howling outside the window,
Trees creaking in disdain,
A tiny flashlight creating an escape from the dark,
Am I blind or am I dreaming,
The light in the darkness can't be real,
It's never been there before,
And I feel something never felt,
The darkness moving from my heart.

But with a pop the light goes out,
How stupid I was to have any hope,
Heart of darkness forever cloaked,
I tried for real, I truly did,
But it disapeared again,
Forget this, I'd rather have no hope,
Then have even the slightest bit,
That goes away in a moments split.
