I Become Darkness
We become darkness in the night
embraced by the emptiness of time
escaping the sunlight
running from the dreams that are not real
searching for the truths
of life surreal.
We overlook the pleasures
that overtake our heart's desires
trusting in the flow of life unmeasured
living, loving, struggling to see
the promises once given
to you, to me.
We are separate now
each one has gone their individual ways
lost to the memory of promise and vow
succumbing to desperate emptiness of therapeutic catharsis
at the midnight hour, lost to myself,
I become darkness
