Light and Dark
The spread of darkness,
Eliminating light.
The Stillness of life,
Not a surprise.
Echoes of peace ringing throughout,
Bouts of calmness hanging about.
A sense of fulfillment,
A sense of satisfaction,
But the one that strikes hard
A sense of being forlorn.
It affects your body,
It affects your mind,
And quite literally,
Drains you of all life.
But it doesn't end there...
Even with your life drained,
Your body dead
And your mind high,
The dark creeps upon you
To swallow you for all time.
You try to fight it,
You try to fight the dark...
Light sides with you
But not always, right?
Such is the time of night,
When the world sleeps
You rise.
You fight,
You fight for you life.
Cause what they don't see,
Is precisely what you fight.
Those demons inside you
Come clawing out at night,
But you fight
And stall for light.
But once you let that spark die
And the light disappears for life,
That is when the dark starts to show
To finally swallow you whole.
