unlike midas's touch
unlike midas's touch
everything you touched
turned into pure darkness
you shallowed whole
the things that brought splendor
to your life,
you were ruler of the abyss
the feeling of euphoria
that once existed in you
and in your surroundigs
had perished,
had now a touch of gloomy beauty
blind by the luminance
of the things around you
not satisfied enough by it,
you led the darkness into you
it became enamored with you
and so it cursed you
with the false radiance it gave you
and its touch
became deadly,
the world around you
became a void
became the world you no longer knew,
until you learned your lesson
to became delighted with what you have
but you cannot undo
your midas's touch of darkness
all at once,
