How, darkness can make us strangers?

‘It’s dark!
It’s dark!
It’s very-very dark!’

   ‘Who’s here?
   Who’s here?
      Who’s here; so near?’
   ‘It’s dream?
   Dark dream: nightmarish fear!!’
‘Why do you go so-far, always?
   My sufferings have their dreadful ways!
Pitch darkness, finds me, easy prey!
   I, often forget all my pray’s!
But, it’s your odor:
Where are you?’
   ‘I’m here, my dear!
   It’s me, my dear!
   It’s me, dear me!
   You’re dreaming fear!
   Now, don't be scared!
   Feel my fingers!
   Don’t throw me off!
   Nightmare lingers!!
Can’t you feel now my palms? Darling!
      They’re full of love!
      Let me, touch you!
What scares you now?
I’m by your side!
   We’re so well known!
   I’m not that new!
How, darkness can make us strangers?
      We’re same in light!
      We’re same in dark!
Come back to senses quickly, now!
      We’re on our bed!
      We’re not in a park!’
‘We’re same, in light!
We’re same, in dark!’
      It’s dark! Pitch dark!
      It’s very-very dark!
