Bane

Bane of day, bane of night,

Bane of darkness, bane of light.

You hide yourself well in your cloak of desolation,

But don't think you can lose me in an act of alienation.

Bane of sanity, bane of madness,

Bane of brilliance, bane of flatness.

You cower in a corner, and pretend to not exist,

But seeing you there, it's hard to resist.

Bane of fortune, bane of doom,

Bane of gladness, bane of gloom.

You say I am a bother, the greatest nuisance,

But getting you to laugh would be the greatest usance.

Bane of peace, bane of strife,

Bane of death, bane of life.

You won't give me a chance,

But just give me your hand, and we shall dance.
