The Light From the Dark

There is a line
Running across my world, 
A line that divides
The Light from The Dark

Two sides to every story,
Two sides to everyone
Two sides in my mind
The Light from The Dark

The things I fear,
The things know one knows,
The things I regret,
The Light from The Dark

The reasons I smile,
My dreams and my hopes
Family and friends of mine
The Light from The Dark

If that line should disappear,
There would be a war, I fear.
Then there would no longer be,
The Light from The Dark.
