I Am

I am Nothing... I am Everything... I am all that lies Between... I am the Days Dawning Light, I am the Empty Shroud of Night. I am the Chaos that Corrupts the Mind, The Serenity ones Heart Aches to Find. I am the Agonizing Distance between Heart and Soul, Relentlessly Tormented with Growing Emptiness. I am the Raging Flames of a Lovers Desire, The Dying embers, Remnants in Cold Ash. I am the arms that Cradle you as you Drift to Sleep, The Lullaby fading into the Peaceful Distance. I am the Beautiful Image behind Closed Eyes, The Unforgiving Nightmare that Stitches them Shut. I am the Blank Parchment laying in Wait, To be Stained with the Ink of a Poets Sins and Sorrows. I am Captor of my Soul and Slave to my Heart, I am the Prison and the Prisoner all in One. I am the Places that I run to Escape from Myself, The Dwelling of Impurities Hidden behind Smiling Eyes. I am the Shadow that Lurks behind, Waiting for you, The Sunlight you Crave to Touch your Face. I am the Sweetened Taste of Lies upon your Lips, The Bitter Regret of Unwanted Truth. I am the Angel that has Fallen, The Demon that has Risen. I am Nothing, You are Everything, We are all that lies between...
