My Darkness and I
Once upon a time, I had a love affair with darkness
Affair seemed to not be the right word to use to describe the relationship between i
and the malicious evil that consumed me
Was I held against my will?
At times I was
but, also there were times where i full heartedly
willingly, leapt into those arms,
that strong hold,
bathing myself in every evil intent that it had.
There was no light to save my heart
There was no hero like in all of those silly, childish, fairy tales
The only twinkle of hope that had came to save me once from the darkness
had faded,
only to return long after I thought my dance with the devil was over
that red, flaming fire that burned and frew each day
fighting the darkness away
I depended on this flame
but soon it did give out
and I was left to defend myself against the darkness alone
So no, there is no savior in this story
there is only me
and the darkness within
