codependency
light …
and dark -
shadow and bright
are diametrically opposed
and intricately interdependent
we must learn to not fear the dark
for it holds the same delight, the same color
the same purpose and excitement
the same realizations … unseen

Her lies are better than the truth, a drug that dulls defenses,
And I give up my reason to explosions of the senses.
Why, oh why, has she decided she should be my muse?
A toy of easily molded
