Dark is Darker

My New Year's Resolution was to write a poem every day. So far I've done pretty well, missing only a day or two here and there. Of course most of the poems are just terrible, but I rather liked this one.
(Many thanks deanna for giving me a journal to do this in!)

Dark is darker when I close my
eyes
"Hope is vain" I say and
sigh
We wait, you and I,
Unanswered,
Like that closeted darkness.
We cry, you and I,
Like a tortured blindness.
Scattered?
Shattered?
Dark is lighter when my eyes adjust.
"He will come," you say, and I
Trust.
