Life

Darkness, Darkness, Black,
  Into the unknown, she stepped.
  A desperate voice pleading,
  Please, take this bitter cup away.
  I don’t want to live another day.

   Black, Black, Black,
   Hopeless a voice begged.
   I am suffocating.
   In my blood, I’m drowning.

   Black, Black, Silence.
   Tears on the floor falling.
   In silence, she is crying.
   While she is busy dying.

   Silence, Silence, Silence.
   Her voice is fading.
  A mixture of blood and tears,
  No more fears of the abusive years.

  Silence, Light, Light
  Darkness was consumed with light.
  A hand reached out and said,
  “You don’t belong with the death.”

   Light, Life, Life
   He picked her up,
   And give her life.
