Light & Dark


The Sunlight’s walking out again Not bothering with a backward glance Leaving only one deprived of its secure warmth And reassuring light, But the Sun is cut from it's own rays as well The Monster is a terror, Something to get and stay away from Cutting and sucking away the warmth And happiness from the light, Compared cruelly with a dementor But who is the Sun without a Dark side to shine upon? Like a hover board and crash bracelets The bracelets are useless without the board, As is the Monster and its doing Without the Light to guide its way, They both bring each other down Yet fill each other up A never-ending circle of one, The Sun always blinding the Monster into confusion And the Monster’s confusion eating the Sun’s way, The Light is slowly fading Due to the Monster’s arrogance, An unstable balance has gradually been taking place What remains of the Sun is dying to leave and recover The Monster chases it Wanting to heal them both The Star however fears what more damage The Dark might do, The Sun greatly misunderstands the Monster What does the Monster care if the sky turns green, If continents sink, If meteors fall, If all that matters is the Sun’s true smile and happiness That will cure and clear all The Light and Dark side-by-side Connected minds In perfect unison and peace Just like we should be
