Poetry Series | Darkness Loves the Light

Darkness

The never-ending theme of my life

Light

The ever-living dream in my mind

Darkness captures me in a warm embrace

Light hurt my eyes

Darkness never leaves

Light is a stinging kiss good-bye

Dark pulls me into its loving chasm, promising to never leave

Light burns my skin, demanding me alive

I fall back into the darkness, nestling in its lies

The pain feels good, it reminds I’m alive

The tears clean my face; they remind I can feel

Time is stripped away; it reminds me I am real

Darkness is my lover

Light is my killer

The never-ending dream of my life

The ever-living theme of my mind
