My Nature

Through darkness, soaked in fear And blinded, I ventured forward to the sound. Then darkness whispered in my ear. I shivered, Clinging on to what I’d never found. It spoke to me as if we’re akin. And its words were so assuring. I knew it was darkness; it was sin - As always, charming and alluring. And I knew that all of me – Was just a tiny part of it. And though, its words Were filled with wit, There’s one truth darkness Tried to skip: It was my master, and I - its slave. It was our secret I would take to my grave.
